• 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. Once the data is selected, users can then use the timeline feature to view the data in various ways. For example, users can view the data in a graph or chart format, or they can view it in a table format. Additionally, users can customize their view by adding filters or sorting the data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the timeline feature, it is important to remember that the data displayed will only be as accurate as the data entered. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all data is entered accurately and consistently. Additionally, it is important to remember that the timeline feature can only display data from one period at a time; if users wish to compare multiple periods of time, they must create separate views for each period.
