ADM-201 - Productivity and Collaboration - Section 5.1

Configure activity management and collaboration tools, including tasks, events, activity timeline, Chatter, and the AppExchange.

Configure tasks, events, and the activity timeline so users log and follow up on customer interactions, and enable Chatter feeds, groups, and feed tracking for internal collaboration. Recognise when an AppExchange managed package, rather than custom configuration, is the right way to extend the platform.

On a standard Lightning record page, what does the activity timeline primarily display?

  • AA list of every field change made to the record, ordered by the time each change was saved.
  • BThe Chatter posts and comments made about the record, grouped by the user who posted them.
  • CUpcoming and past activities such as tasks, events, calls, and emails logged against the record, ordered by date. Correct
  • DThe list of reports and dashboards that reference the record's object across the org.
Recognise that the activity timeline aggregates a record's tasks, events, calls, and emails by date. The activity timeline is designed to surface a record's activity history and upcoming work in one chronological view, which is why it shows tasks, events, calls, and emails rather than field changes or feed posts.

Why A is wrong: This describes field history tracking, not the activity timeline, so it is a tempting but incorrect confusion of two separate features.

Why B is wrong: Chatter posts appear in the Chatter feed component, which is distinct from the activity timeline, so this mixes up two related but separate collaboration surfaces.

Why C is correct: Correct: the activity timeline consolidates open and completed activities for the record, including tasks, events, logged calls, and emails, in date order.

Why D is wrong: The timeline never lists reports or dashboards, so although analytics feel related to a record, this option describes something the timeline does not do.
