* * * New or Improved for 2014.1 * * * Wait for Child Workflow Block
Waits for a condition specified in the block to become true for a child object, or for a timer to expire. By default, exit ports for this block allow for separate workflow paths based on these events.
The timeout behavior is as follows:
If value based timer (i.e. duration) is specified by values
| days | == | null && hours == null && minutes == null, | then infinite timeout or never times out |
| days | == | -1 && hours == -1 && minutes == -1, | then infinite timeout or never times out |
| days | <= | 0 && hours <= 0 && minutes <= 0, | then Immediately times out and timeout exit is used |
| days | > | 0 && hours > 0 && minutes > 0, | then combined value is set as the timeout and exit timeout is used when the time passes. |
If field based timer
| fieldvalue | == | null, | then infinite timeout or never times out |
| fieldvalue | <= | UtcNow, | then immediately times out and timeout exit used |
| fieldvalue | > | UtcNow, | then combined value is set as the timeout and exit timeout is used when the time passes |
Exit Ports
- Define additional exit ports under the Exits Configuration tab.
| ok |
Continue to the next block. |
| timed out | The workflow is terminated as incomplete because an event exceeded the defined length of time. |
