When does the 'Timer Event' Skip an Input Task node? If I set

When does the 'Timer Event' Skip an Input Task node?

If I set up 'skip this node 30 minutes after activation of the timer event', when is the timer event activated? Is it as soon as the user accepts the task?

If it's in an activity-chained flow, does it start as soon as the user reaches the node?
What I mean is, if it took the user 40 minutes to complete the task, and the timer is set to 30 minutes, what would happen to the end user? Would he be able to submit the task successfully?

  • Hi nickh647,

    If your question is about scheduling Timer Event --

    The User Input task node will get activated once the process flow reaches to it and waits for the given period of time.

    Untill the given time is over, user cannot access that node. Once the timer gets completed, after that a user will be able to access the node.If a user tries to access before the completion of timer, throws error saying --- "The task status null is invalid".

    Else,if it is about Escalations Timer Event --

    Here we need to configure things like-- Reassigning the Task, Priority Of Task.

    If the user has not submitted the user input task with in the escalation time, then the above configured things will happen.
