Hello everyone, is it possible to have dynamic timer of one process model based on user set of schedules/timer?

What does that mean? And what is the use case of having a dynamic timer for a process model?
example is I have 2 user, one have setup that will run every 30 minutes and other is 60 minutes is it possible using only one process model?
No, that is not possible. Can you describe your use case in more detail?
What do you do when you have 1000 users? Does each user have his own process being started? That will not scale.
Example1. I have users that can set interval on the UI ex. run every 30 minutes, 60 minutes etc. (specific per user).
2. Those intervals will pass to the process model that has a timer.
3. The process model will run based on the users setup interval.
So its really not possible right?
the thing is: Appian process instances are based on process model which is providing the "template". So if you want to have a certain behavior which is independent from a process value like how often a process runs, then you need a own process model for it. and then the effect is system wide and not exclusively for one user.
