Wait Workflow Block

The Wait workflow block waits for a condition specified in the workflow block to become true, or for a timer to expire. By default, exit ports for this block allow for separate workflow paths for these events.

Defining parameters and conditions from the Design form interrupts the wait workflow block execution.

Wait Workflow Block Properties

The timeout behavior is as follows:

If value-based timer (such as duration) is specified by values

days	==	null && hours == null && minutes == null,	then infinite timeout or never times out
days	=	0 && hours = 0 && minutes = 0,	then immediately times out and timeout exit is used
days	>	0 && hours > 0 && minutes > 0,	then combined value is set as the timeout and exit timeout is used when the time passes.

The maximum number of days allowed is 30, if it exceeds 30, a validation error is displayed.

If field-based timer

fieldvalue	==	null,	then infinite timeout or never times out
fieldvalue	<=	UtcNow,	then immediately times out and timeout exit used
fieldvalue	>	UtcNow,	then combined value is set as the timeout and exit timeout is used when the time passes

Exit Ports

You can define additional exit ports under the Exits Configuration tab. See Exits Configuration.
