Creating Time Slice Reports for Product Versions

You can produce time slice report for a customizable product versions. This report lists dependent objects that expire prior to the end date of the version.

If dependent objects expire, the product version may not work as intended. After viewing the time slice report, if necessary, you can change the end dates of existing versions of the dependent objects or create new versions of the dependent objects with later end dates.

The time slice report produced in Customizable Products, then Versions view only takes account of objects that have already been released. To produce the report for objects that have not been released, you must use Workspace Projects view and select the Use Project checkbox for the objects.

The time slice application preference determines the output format of time slice reports (XML or CSV). For information about setting application preferences, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.
