  How to use it: 
  To set a key date in SAP BusinessObjects Explorer, open the application and select the “Key Date” option from the menu. From there, you can choose to set the key date manually or automatically. If you choose to set it manually, you will need to enter the desired date in the appropriate field. If you choose to set it automatically, you will need to select the desired frequency (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
