Adding a Timer event to a wait step

A Timer element interrupts a wait step, allowing the process to decide about how to proceed after the wait step times out. This You can use this element only with the User Task and Receive Task elements.

Important

Application business analysts can customize the objects developed in their own applications and that are marked customizable by the administrator, but cannot customize the objects developed in com.bmc.arsys in Best Practice Customization mode. For example, objects in core BMC applications like Foundation, Approval, and Assignment cannot be customized in Best Practice Customization mode. For more information, see Customization-layer.
