  Key Concepts: 
  Timeline is a feature of SAP BusinessObjects Profitability and Cost Management (EPM-PCM) that allows users to view and analyze data over a period of time. It enables users to compare data from different periods, such as year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter, and to identify trends and patterns. The timeline feature also allows users to create custom views of their data, such as by product or customer.
  How to Use It: 
  To use the timeline feature, users must first select the data they wish to view. This can be done by selecting a specific period of time or by selecting a range of dates.
