Which item does a Consultant use to automate a task?

• A. Data Management Steps
• B. Time Profiles
• C. Data Management Procedures
• D. Data Management Sequences

Answer: (D)

Automating a task means creating a workflow that runs without manual intervention. In OneStream Data Management, a Sequence is the unit that does this by grouping multiple Data Management Steps into a defined order and running them as a single runnable item. By placing steps such as import, transform, validation, and load inside a sequence, you set up an automated flow that can be executed on demand or scheduled, ensuring the entire process runs consistently. Individual steps are the building blocks, not automations on their own; time-related settings affect when tasks run but don’t automate a whole workflow, and procedures are used to organize tasks but don’t inherently define a runnable automated sequence the way sequences do. So the item used to automate a task is the Data Management Sequence.
