In some sections, the timeline displays additional types of records. The timeline content is determined by the Creatio product and section specifics. For example, in bank products the history of the customer's cases, invoices and cards is also displayed in the timeline.

button to open the connected record.
Depending on the text volume, the list records may be displayed in a “collapsed” view mode. You can expand a collapsed record by clicking the [Show more] button.
The timeline records are grouped by months. By default, newer records are displayed first. You can sort records by date in ascending or descending order using the [Date] 
or the [Date] 
buttons.
