Create a Data Map for Survey Responses
Create a data map that creates a Task record based on survey responses. You can show the details of the record in a timeline. For example, you can create a standard survey to collect feedback and then create a data map that automatically creates a Task record based on a participant's response. You can then view the responses in a timeline.
