You use this activity to set a fixed waiting time for a workflow instance. This can be useful in the following scenarios, for example:
Resubmission: Insert a field with which your employees can set themselves workflow tasks as resubmissions.
Time loop: If you run a Web service for a check, you can trigger its repetition the next day, for example, if the result is negative.
Technical necessity: Delay a workflow, for example, to wait for a response from an external system.
You specify the required number of days, hours or minutes either using the dialog or using a variable of the date/time type. The maximum waiting time is 365 days.
