M223: Automatically Sleep for a Specified Period During A Cases

 

By placing a [Timer Intermediate Event] in the middle of a flow diagram you can make the issue sleep until a specified restart time. The restart time refers to the Datetime-type Data Item entered in the upstream Step. For example, in a "Reservation Acceptance flow", you can build a mechanism to transmit a reminder email automatically at the downstream Step the day before the reservation date.

1. Usage Example of [Timer Intermediate Event]

a. Calling of Automatic Processing

Sending a notification email one day before the reservation date to the customer who made the reservation

b. Reminder for Users

Creating a validation report on Return On Investment one month later

2. Setting Restart Time of [Timer Intermediate Event]

1. Prepare a Datetime-type Data Item

Prepare a DateTime-type Data Item with the name "Reminder Time", for example

2. Set the Timer of the Intermediate Event

Restart time will be determined when the Issue reaches the Event

• If it is necessary to calculate the restart time, you should use EL syntax (e.g. "# now.addDays (1) .addHours (9)")
• If the restart time has already passed at the time the issue arrives at the Timer Event, the issue will progress without pausing
• If the restart time was not entered upon arriving at the Timer Event, the Issue will progress without pausing
