> #### 4.5.9 Viewing the status of timers

> When reviewing your assigned activities, you may wish to compare any deadlines associated with the assignment periodically. Do this through the Timer Status pane, which displays the current status of timers associated with both activities and process instances.

> Note: Timers can only be added to activities and process instances when you are creating the process definition from which they are formed. For instructions in adding timers, see Define timers.

> ###### To review the status of timers associated with an assigned task:

> 1. To investigate all deadlines associated with your assignment, you need to review both activity timers and process timers.

> Activity timers are activated when the activity is activated. View activity timers by right-clicking the activity in the process instance display and selecting Timer Status.

> Process instance timers are activated when the process instance is started. View process instance timers by clicking the Properties button in the process instance display and selecting the Timer Status tab.

> In either case, the Timer Status pane displayed in the figure below appears.

> Note: The process-level version of the Timer Status pane displays only five tabs: General, User-defined Attributes, Attachments, Timers, and Timer Status.

> 2. As illustrated above, each active timer is displayed as a row in a table. The three columns provide the timer name, timer ID (the timer's instance), and the timer's expiration time (the remaining time before the timer expires).

> 3. If you are in Process Instance Edit Mode, you may remove activity timers by selecting the timer you want to remove and clicking the Remove button.
