• Key Concepts: 
  Data slice is a feature of the PSM-FG Functions for U.S. Federal Government component of SAP software. It allows users to create a “slice” of data from a larger dataset, which can then be used for analysis or reporting purposes. This feature is especially useful for government agencies that need to analyze large amounts of data quickly and accurately.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the data slice feature, users must first select the data they want to analyze from the larger dataset. This can be done by selecting specific fields or columns, or by using filters to narrow down the data set. Once the desired data has been selected, users can then create a “slice” of this data by clicking the “Create Slice” button. This will generate a new dataset that contains only the selected fields or columns.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a data slice, it is important to make sure that all of the necessary fields or columns are included in the selection. This will ensure that all relevant information is included in the resulting dataset. Additionally, it is also important to make sure that any filters used are accurate and up-to-date, as this will ensure that only relevant data is included in the slice.
