Specifying details for a wait element

To specify that a workflow must wait for a specified amount of time during its execution, use a Wait step:

  1. Add a Wait step to the workflow diagram at the place where the workflow execution must stop and wait for a specified amount of time.
  2. Select the Wait element from the workflow diagram. In the properties pane specify step properties:
    Name
    Specify a name for this workflow step.
    Description
    Specify a description for this workflow step.
    Waiting period
    Select one of the available options:
    • Wait for specified time interval. Specify a value between 1 and 999 and select time unit minutes, hours, days.
    • Wait for variable time interval. Select a workflow parameter of type integer and select time unit minutes, hours, days.
    • Wait until specified date and time. Select a workflow parameter of type date and time.

    At execution time when the workflow reaches this step it waits for the specified amount of time and then the workflow with resume execution automatically. If waiting is specified until a date and time from the past, the workflow continues execution immediately.
