Display Aggregated Period for Timeline-Enabled Record

For a timeline-enabled record, you can click the link

Show Effective Periods

to view the calculated aggregated period of effective periods for the record. Aggregated period is the time period where the data of the record does not change for any of the object (parent, children, and grandchildren). It is the intersection of all the effective periods for the record.

For example, if you save the effective period for the parent record for a time period 01-May-2012 to 31-May-2012 and then you save the effective period of the child record of the same record for a time period 01-May 2012 to 15-May-2012. The aggregated period for the record as on 01-May-2012 is 01-May 2012 to 15-May-2012.

The link

Show Effective Periods

is available after the

Save

operation is completed.

In the Data view, after you click the link

Show Effective Periods

, you can view the effective start date and effective end date of the object (parent, children, and grandchildren).

The aggregated period displayed for the record is directly related to the date selected in the

Effective Date

field.
