Hi harshc5309 , you can create a rule which calculates the difference and based on that you can either show or hide buttons.

Hi harshc5309 ,

Please use below code. Here local!proceedButton is a boolean which can be used for showWhen or disable parameter of buttonWidget.

a!localVariables(
  local!submittedTime:datetime(2023,11,20,03,35,00),
  local!proceedButton:a!addDateTime(local!submittedTime,0,0,0,1,0,0)>now(),
  local!proceedButton
)

Assume the variable "submissionDatTime". that holds the submitted date and time. then, after you want to show the proceed button, if more than 1 hour has passed since submission.
Use this expression:
if(

currentDateTime() - submissionDateTime > 1 hour,
true,

false,

)
current DateTime get your current date and time

submissionDateTime shows your form's submitted date and time.

currentDateTime() - submissionDateTime , calculate the difference between these times.

1 hour is a threshold you want to check against. if your time difference is greater than 1 hour, the condition is true. then it will eveluate to true, and you can use this condition to visibility of proceed button.
