Delay For Widget

Delay For Widget

The Delay For widget pauses a workflow until a specified amount of time has elapsed.

NOTE: Workflow processing is dependent on the SharePoint Timer Service, which evaluates workflow status every 5 minutes. The workflow will resume at the next timer interval after the specified amount of time has elapsed.

Widget Properties:

Column Description
Days Enter a number of days to pause the workflow. You can type a number or enter a lookup to a number using the Add Lookup icon (Button-AddLookup).
Hours Enter a number of hours to pause the workflow. You can type a number or enter a lookup to a number using the Add Lookup icon.
Minutes

Enter a number of hours to pause the workflow. You can type a number or enter a lookup to a number using the Add Lookup icon.

NOTE: The Days/Hours/Minutes properties can be used in combination. For example: to pause a workflow for 1 hour and 15 minutes, enter 1 in the Hours property and 15 in the Minutes property. If none of the Days/Hours/Minutes properties are filled in, the workflow will pause until the next Workflow timer job interval (up to 5 minutes).

Click Apply to save the widget settings.
