# Activities with multiple related records

Hello friends,

Today i wold like to share the new feature of the Release Wave 2 - this is [**Associate activities with multiple related record**](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/release-plan/2023wave2/data-platform/associate-activities-multiple-related-records). Hopefully can be help... :smile: 

As before, an Activity just only regarding to 1 related record and my client who always asked me how we can show this activity record in multiple timeline.

The example: \
   We have the **Opportunity 1** and this **Opps** record is belong to **Contact A1** and **Account A.** Now, when the Sales man who did interaction on **Opps 1** by create activity record (Task, Appointment, Email). \
   Then the Sales man want to see the all **Opps 1's activities** on Timeline of **Contact A1** and **Account A.**

So now, how we can configure that? 

## My previous solution

I create 1 custom entity called **"History"** to store the interaction histories for Contact/ Account in case by case.

As the above example, I had created some **Workflow** which was applied on **Task, Appointment, Email created from Opportunity.**\
This Workflow will create record **History** for **Activity. Contact** and **Activity. Account** when activities record created (of course: Regarding. Opportunity <> null).

After that, on the Timeline of Contact/ Account will be displayed these **History records** instead of Activities record.

**Okay, so now, with the new feature, how we can do ???**

## ... With new feature

Actually, Microsoft has updated for your environment and you just open Form then configure. :smile:

I back to my solution and open **Main form of Contact**&#x20;

Now, you select the **Timeline** area >> in the right panel, scroll down and find **Related records** as above.

After that, choose the Related record. As my sample, so I will click to select **Opportunity >>** click **Enable** to show Opportunity's activity records into **Contact timeline**

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently, the Entity (OOB) that applied this functionality is based on the application that you installed. I also checked but cannot enable it for another custom entity.&#x20;

* D365 CE: Account, Contact, Case, Order, Quote, Opportunity, Lead
* Power Platform: Account, Contact
  {% endhint %}

## Checking now\...

On Opportunity, I created 1 Task and 1 Appointment record as bellow:

Now, I will open the Customer (Contact) record and all Opportunity's activity will be shown on Contact Timeline as my expectation.

Hopefully, we can enable and configure for any custom entity that we want in the near future. Please Microsoft... !!! I'm still waiting ... :tada:\
