Defining Timer Conditions for Boundary Events
To define a timer condition
1. In the process editor, click a boundary event to select it.
2. In the Properties view, click Timer Condition.
3. In the Timer Condition page, from the Source list, select the source of the timer value:
Static Value- specify a fixed period of time for the timeout value in the format days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.
Field Value- define the timeout value dynamically by specifying the name of a data field present in the pipeline from an upstream document. You can specify both top-level and nested fields. The value is in milliseconds. For example, if the field value is 60000, the timeout value will be 60000 milliseconds (one minute).
Note: The set of listed Field Values includes all process data items. You need to select a data item that will be present in the pipeline when the process executes. That requirement is a normal part of process design. The added support of Case steps provides an enhancement of a global data model, which leads directly to all process data items being presented for the Timer Condition.
4. Save the process.
