> ###### To access timers:

> 1. Display the process definition.

> 2. Right-click an Activity or Delay Node and select Timers from the popup menu. For a process instance timer, click the Properties button in the Target Area.

> Note: The Timers pane on these three dialogs displays essentially the same screen with slight variations that are intuitively obvious. Any items don't apply in a particular instance are disabled and grayed out (such as the timer action details on the Delay Node Properties Dialog, Timers pane).

> 3. Select the Timers tab. The following pane appears:

> Figure 41: The Timers pane

> 4. Type the name of a new timer in the New Timer text box (with no more than 12 characters). Click Add New. The new timer appears in the Timers drop-down list box.

> 5. Select the new timer in the Timers list, if it is not already selected. In the Time panel, specify whether the new timer is an Absolute timer, a Calendar timer, a Business timer or an Advanced timer. You also have the option of making the Calendar timer, Business timer or Advanced timer periodic by checking the Periodic checkbox. Periodic timers "go off" at the end of the assigned interval then periodically on that interval.

> You may also modify existing timers by selecting them on the Timers list, or remove them by clicking the Remove button.

> 6. Specify a period of time for a Relative timer or a Periodic timer, or a specific time and date for an Absolute timer.

> 7. In the Action panel, add the JavaActions that you want to execute when the timer expires. For instructions in using JavaActions, see Using Java Actions.

> 8. The user-defined process attributes have names, which identify the timer and the timer action. For example, a typical attribute name might be __atmr_publication_time. In this example, the prefix (atmr) identifies this as a timer, the middle term (publication) contains the name of the timer, and the suffix (time) identifies the function of the attribute. These user-defined process attributes can be modified on a form, through a menu, or through a script.

> 9. Click OK when finished working with timers.
