What's the session effective date?

An effective start date that applies to all date-effective interactions in the current session.

Professional users, such as benefits administrators, can set the session effective date for all actions that they perform on date-effective objects, such as benefits plans, life events, and reporting groups, in a single session. Setting the session effective date is an efficient way of ensuring that related objects have the same effective dates. By default, the session effective date is today's date in the user's time zone.
