Timeline component

Level: beginner

Use the Timeline component to enable users to view the history of communication regarding the record as well as records linked to it in chronological order. You can specify the sorting column for most objects in the timeline except for "Feed" and "File" that are always sorted by creation date. Users can like and comment feed records in the timeline. The component also includes the message composer functionality.

Use the Timeline component to display the linked records of the following objects:

Attachments
Activities
Emails
Calls
Feed messages

The timeline displays the primary display value and creation date of linked records. You can customize the columns to display in the timeline addon of the relevant object using no-code tools. Learn more: Customize an object column to display in the Timeline component.
