- Workflow: Allows the workflow POV to be set/defined and workflow activities to be performed through a guided workflow based on the user's role

- Documents: central repository that administrators and users can use to maintain commonly user templates, documents, and other helpful resources โ What does the Application tab do Answer: Where all the application artifacts are built and maintained
- Cube: app metadata is built and maintained (ex. dimensions, cubes, FX rates)
- Workflow: Control and organize end user activity - built with application artifacts (ex. workflow profiles, confirmation rules, certification questions)
- Data collection: data is imported through different data sources, entered in forms and journals, and transformed from the source system to the financial model through creation of application components
- Presentation: report books, cube views, and dashboards are built for reporting needs
- Tools: Schedule tasks, access spreadsheet, build business rules, set default app properties, specify steps and sequences for data management jobs, and control who can access and modify application artifacts through security roles

- Cube properties: where users can assign their initial key settings to impact how their cube is secured, translated, calculated, and how it will interact with the workflow โ What are the 3 properties in the calculation category Answer: - Consolidation algorithm type - data gets moved up the entity and consolidation dimensions when a consolidation is executed; this property specifies how the share and elimination members will be treated
- Translation algorithm type - specifies an entity's local currency values and translates them based on the FX rate types and FX rule types assigned to the scenario
- No data calculation properties - when calculate local currency if no data' and calculate translated currencies if no data are set to true, common practice to leave everything else false because it ensures that data being copied into empty time periods or scenarios through a calculation will run โ Cube dimensions Answer: where users decide how the cube will organize and structure the data within the application using dimensions
