I am trying to get notes (from the timeline) to show up in a view, is that possible, and how?

    The problem, as I'm sure you've figured out already, is that the Activity (activitypointer) table/entity that actually has that data is not related directly to the other common tables/entities such as account and contact. The notes are associated through the "timeline" object.  As far as I know there is no way to add that to the views for the other entities except through a custom plugin.

    Hi USA80,

    The note entity has built N:1 relationship with other entities that has enabled 'Notes(include attachment) '  option.

    However, Note(annotation) entity is not able to show as sub-grid like other related entities, which is by design.

    So you can refer following thread to achieve it, which add a web resource to retrieve related notes and show it in the form.

    Hi,

    It is not possible to create a view directly for notes. In order to achieve what you would like to do, you can create a report to show notes, put the report in an iFrame or a dashboard.
