Set Up and Customize the Communications Timeline

A timeline shows data in a base (or primary) object with related objects in such a way that users can make visual sense of it as a sequence of events happening over time. Determine what information appears on the timeline by choosing the base object and the related objects.

In Communications Service Console, we’ve preconfigured the timeline that has the API name B2B_Account_Timeline.
