Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create an activity entity for project phases and relate it to the Project entity.
The timeline control requires a relationship to an activity entity (like Appointment) or a custom entity configured as an activity. Option A is wrong because the timeline does not require a specific field. Option B is wrong because timeline does not use subgrid. Option D is wrong because timeline is not a standard SharePoint integration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Add a subgrid of project phases and configure it as a timeline.
Why it's wrong here
Subgrids cannot be configured as timeline; timeline is a separate control.
- ✗
Set the timeline control's date field to the project start date.
Why it's wrong here
Timeline uses activity records, not a single date field.
- ✓
Create an activity entity for project phases and relate it to the Project entity.
Why this is correct
Timeline control displays activities related to the record; an activity entity is needed.
- ✗
Integrate with Microsoft Project for timeline data.
Why it's wrong here
Timeline control is native to model-driven apps and does not require external integration.
