How Enhanced Timeline Works in Health Cloud

A timeline lets users see data from objects as a sequence of events happening over time. You determine what information shows on the timeline by choosing the base (or primary) object and the related objects. You can use standard objects or custom objects.

A user’s profile permissions determine access to timelines. You can assign a user multiple timeline configurations.

For example, a user profile can have access to timelines that represent medical data, engagement data, and assessment data.

Before you start configuring a timeline, identify your business requirements. At a minimum, decide which objects are required for the timeline and the information you want it to show.

If you are using the legacy Timeline feature, we recommend that you switch to Enhanced Timeline to take advantage of new configuration capabilities and responsive layout. You can also enable users to create and edit events in Enhanced Timeline.
