By placing a [Timer Start Event] at the beginning of an App a new processing instance will be started automatically. In this way, you can reduce the risk of forgetting periodic operations such as a "Daily Report" or "End of Month Expense Claim".
1. Setting Starting Date and Time of [Timer Start Event]
- 1. Date
Specify the day you want to start (daily/specified day of the week/specified date in the month/specified date in a year)
- 2. Time
Specify the time of day you want to start (any minute of the day in between '0:00' and '23:59')
- Will be stored in the [My Tasks] list of all the nominees (e.g. "All the employees submit daily report")
- It is possible to Start as an [Offered Task] (e.g. "Somebody writes a blog article")
- It is also possible to set more than one [Starting Date time] on a [Timer Start Event] (e.g. "9 O'clock in the morning on Monday and Wednesday")
