HI Abhay,

Hope this will help you..

A snapshot is a graphical representation of the state (type and data) of a data object at a certain point in time that you can use when you build stories. The snapshot you take is a copy of the state. This means that the state of the snapshot does not change when the state of the corresponding data object gets updated.

Snapshots capture individual objects on a sheet during the analysis process. They store the visualization and data as you see it at that time enabling you to use them at a later point in time to tell a story. Each snapshot contains a bookmark back to the original context so that you quickly get access to the live data.

Are you talking about snapshot wrt Qlik Sense? If so, it is used in Storytelling. Refer :Storytelling Overview (video)

If you are referring to Qlikview, then concept can be implemented. You need to create your own data as snapshot for year/month or anything.

In QlikSense, concept of snapshot is used to capture the picture & make story out of it.
