Activity Entity, Can we add additional types of activities to the timeline on the activity form itself?

(0) ShareShare

We added a timeline on the Note activity form to essentially add notes about the note. They can add additional notes, but want emails and other activity features to be added to this timeline. The options under the entity are grayed out:

    Hi Dave,

    You have to select the Timeline on the entity form and filter by show all or you can select the Activities module and Publish the form.

    Hi Dave,

    Thank you for your query.

    In Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement, you can create custom activities to support the communication needs of a business such as instant messaging (IM) and Short Message Service (SMS). To create a custom activity in Customer Engagement, create a custom entity, and specify it as an activity entity using the EntityMetadata.IsActivity property.
