Timer event handler

A timer event handler can only be configured in conjunction with the global timer or a timer action (data-group or universal timer action). A global timer or a timer action creates time-related event that react to the timer event handler:

  • Resubmission of a data record via a timer from a timer action

  • Timer event from a timer action without a data group relation

  • Submission of one or more data records via a global timer

  • Timer event from a global timer

Actions and conditions can be linked to the timer event handler.

The timer event handler can be found in processes in the "Elements" area. It belongs to the "Event handler" category. From there, it can be dragged & dropped to the desired location on the workspace and then configured.

Unlike other elements, the timer event handler is not linked to other elements. The connection can only be established via the properties of the timer event handler by selecting the desired timer action or the desired global timer there.

Further general information on creating process elements can be found here.

If you have created the timer event handler on the workspace, open the properties dialog by double-clicking on the element.
