Show Events and Milestones for Relevant Automotive Records

Add the Events and Milestones component to the Account, Contact, or Vehicle record page layouts to surface information about key moments in the lifecycle of these records. You can hide life event and milestone types that you don’t want the dealer executives or sales executives to see. For example, if you add the Events and Milestones component to the Vehicle record page layout that you customized for a Dealer Sales Executive, you can hide milestone types related to repair and maintenance, such as General Service, Car Damage, or Body Repair.
