Adding a Timer Event

When you add a Timer event, you should take into account the following considerations.

Roles

You should add Timer events in automatic role lanes. You can add Timer events in user-defined roles but this does not add any information to the process. The engine runs Timer events without the user's intervention.

Transitions

You must connect a Timer event to the process flow using an inbound and an outbound transition. An error appears in the Problems View if the inbound or outbound transitions are missing.

Variables

The PBL code associated to a Timer event can access the following types of variables:
  • predefined variables
  • instance variables
  • local variables
