One thing we'd like to see is more standard custom fields in the Timeline. So, in the text entry, require certain data points be entered based on the Timeline Type. For instance, if you have a QBR with a customer - and it is a QBR Timeline Entry Type - you have to input a few certain data points.
Right now Timeline entries feel a bit like a blank note and leave the CSM to enter whatever they want, vs. a more prescriptive form of data.
Question
Timeline Forms
+2Hi Colin,
Depending on the type of data you are looking to capture, it sounds like you might be interested in the custom activity field option. This allows you to define additional fields that would appear on the activity layout and optionally make the completion of that field as mandatory before the activity can be saved. https://support.gainsight.com/Timeline/Admin_Guides/Configure_Timeline_View_for_C360_and_R360#Add_New_Custom_Fields_to_Activity_Layout

+7On a related point, you're also able to set up dependencies between the fields that Dan's referring to: https://support.gainsight.com/Timeline/User_Guides/Use_Timeline_to_log_Activities#Use_Controller_and_Dependent_Dropdown_Lists_in_Activity_Timeline
