Description:
This step waits until the specified date and time, then executes the next step.
Inputs
- waitDateTime – Wait till
- timeZone - select time zone
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “waitForDateTimeDef” example.
- Create a new process definition called “waitForDateTimeDef” and open the definition in designer mode.
- Drag a “waitForDateTime” and “placeHolder” step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” and other steps, as shown above
- Click the “waitForDateTime” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide a name for the step and set the wait date and time. Then click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have Copilot add new process steps that match your process description.
- Click the “waitForDateTime” step to configure its “Required” properties. Select the time zone from the dropdown list, then click the Save button.
- The “Logging” configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures workflow progress and percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute it. Render the process instance. At the wait step, the process instance is “sleeping.” It remains asleep until the configured date and time, then executes the next step.
Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import them (drag-and-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.
Note: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections, after the import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
