The snake timeline is an invaluable tool for incident analysis, offering a comprehensive and chronological view of events during an incident. Users can seamlessly narrate the incident's progression, including its onset, the responders involved, and the remediation steps taken. This feature allows users to include all relevant tags from the initial investigation, ensuring a detailed and organized timeline for later analysis and review meetings.

Narrative Builder and Snake Timeline Differences

You can use the snake timeline to get a sense of where each event falls related to each other on a time scale perspective. Rather than selecting specific events as you do with Narrative Builder, the snake timeline visualizes all events together.

The snake timeline visualizes key elements of a situation and addresses questions such as the following:

• What time did each responder join?
• Were there any outsized gaps in communication?
