Configure wait nodes

Overview

Before you begin

• The Approval Process is created.
• You have identified the wait type.
• You have identified the routing path after the wait.

Configure Delay Wait

1. In the process designer, add Wait Node.
2. In Node Settings on the right, enter Node Name. For example, enter Wait Node.
3. Enter Node Description as needed.
4. In Wait Method, select Delay Wait.
5. Configure the wait duration and unit, such as minutes, hours, or days.
6. Add execution items when conditions are met as needed.
7. Connect the subsequent node after the wait.
8. Click Save.

Configure Condition Wait

1. In the Wait Node, select Condition Wait.
2. Configure the wait duration and unit.
3. In Set Conditions, configure evaluation conditions.
4. Use Edit to adjust the condition expression as needed.
5. Configure the subsequent node after conditions are met.
6. Configure the wait policy when conditions are not met.
7. Add execution items when conditions are met as needed.
8. Click Save.

Runtime notes

• If the handler has the required permissions, the handler can click Execute Now during runtime to skip the wait.
• If a post-node action function after the Wait Node has Execution Failed status, the handler needs exception ignore permission before ignoring or retrying the exception.

Expected result and verification

1. Use a test record to trigger the process.
2. Check whether the process stays at the Wait Node.
3. Verify whether the process continues after the delay or after conditions are met.
4. Test the Execute Now permission.
