• Key Concepts: 
  Data slice is a feature of the Executive Information System (EC-EIS) component of SAP. It allows users to quickly and easily access and analyze data from multiple sources. Data slices are created by selecting specific fields from a database and then combining them into a single view. This view can then be used to generate reports, charts, and other visualizations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a data slice, users must first select the fields they want to include in the slice. This can be done by selecting the fields from the database or by using the “slice” option in the EC-EIS menu. Once the fields have been selected, they can be combined into a single view by clicking the “create slice” button. The data slice can then be used to generate reports, charts, and other visualizations. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a data slice, it is important to select only the fields that are relevant to the analysis being performed. This will help ensure that the data slice is as accurate and useful as possible. Additionally, it is important to remember that data slices are not permanent; they can be modified or deleted at any time.
