Description

Timer Intermediate Events are triggered by a defined timer. You can use the timer intermediate event in the Designer as an intermediate event or as a boundary event and as intermediate event::

  • Intermediate: You can use the object as an intermediate catching event. In this case, the event is a separate process step. When the execution arrives at the event, a timer is started. When the timer fires, the sequence flow exiting the timer is followed.
  • Boundary: The timer is attached to an activity and works as a stopwatch and an alarm clock. When the execution reaches the activity, the timer is started. When the timer fires, for example after a defined interval, the activity is interrupted and the sequence flow exiting the timer is followed.
  • Intermediate: You can also use the object as an intermediate catching event. In this case, the event is a separate process step. When the execution arrives at the event, a timer is started. When the timer fires, the sequence flow exiting the timer is followed.
