Source: https://vaultcrmhelp.veeva.com/doc/Content/CRM_topics/ServiceCenter/Using/SC_Activities_on_Timeline.htm ## Viewing Service Center Activities on the Account Timeline Vault CRM users can view Service Center case and target activities on the [Account Timeline](../../Timeline/Overview.htm). The Account Timeline displays a linear view of customer activities related to an account. Users have an integrated view of Service Center customer case activities and notes with other account-related events on the timeline, for example, calls, approved emails, and medical events. This view provides users with a unified history of account interactions which can drive collaboration, improve customer support and sales outcomes, and provide cross-functional teams with actionable insights. For example, an end user is preparing for that day’s calls. On the Timeline for one of their accounts, they can see there is an open case, indicating something might need attention. The end user contacts the listed Service Center rep who owns the case to get details before interacting with the account. Based on this knowledge, the end user can take steps to help resolve the case or help prevent an issue in the future. **Who can use this feature?** * All Users - Browser, iPad * [Viewing Service Center Activities on the Account Timeline](#Viewing) * Users do not require an additional license ### Configuring Service Center Activities on the Account Timeline for [![Closed](../../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)All Users](#) To configure this feature: 1.
