Inline adding of screenshots in Timeline Activities

Hi, This is on the short-medium term roadmap.

This would be a very nice improvement indeed. It would also come in very handy in the Summary Section of the C/R360.

Has this been picked up by GS for the roadmap? This came up with my CSMs today and as far as I know this still isn’t possible within Timeline

This bothered me as well but it seems this may have recently changed.  I tried it just now and was able to past screen snippets into timeline entries on NXT.

@timellis I’m not sure if I’m missing something or not. I tried the same thing but can’t get the screenshot to appear in line with the text. You can add it as an attachment, but copy+paste doesn’t work into the description. There is no option to add image in line with the text. We are in NXT as well.

Yes, currently, that option is not there. We will look into this and will update once we prioritise it.

@timellis @Jef Vanlaer @dan_kenner Could you be able to give us some scenarios or use cases when you would like to add an image inline instead of attaching it?

It seems to work for me on the C360.  My environment is NXT, Chrome, MacOS.

Being able to see screenshots etc. as you’re taking notes in a meeting is critical.  Attaching them separately loses sequencing and context of where they are in the meeting.  Also, I like to take screen shots of participant lists in a webex meeting and paste them in to meeting notes for easy reference.  It’s not practical to open up a separate attachment do do that.  Think of what a user who is taking notes in a webex/zoom meeting might want to be able to do - that’s a primary use case for me.

Completely agree with the points made by @timellis . Also, an image says more than a 1000 words, so having the images visible on the Timeline notes will make it a lot easier to scan past activities for interesting points.

I think I figured it out!  The image only saves if you put some text BELOW the image before saving it.  The image doesn’t save if there is no text below it.
