You can set the timeout.date attribute of a User Interaction element to a relative time and date by binding it to a Date object. You define the object in a scripted function.

If you create a relative Date object in a scripted function, you can bind the timeout.date attribute of a user interaction to this Date object. For example, if you bind the timeout.date attribute to a Date object that adds 24 hours to the current time, the user interaction times out after waiting for 24 hours.

Prerequisites
■

Add a user interaction element to the workflow schema.

■

Set the security.group attribute for the user interaction.

■

Create a scripted function that calculates a relative time and date and encapsulates it in a Date object in the workflow. See Calculate a Relative Timeout for User Interactions.

Procedure
1

Click the User Interaction element in the workflow schema.

2

Click the Attributes tab for the user interaction.

3

Click Not set for the timeout.date source parameter to set the timeout parameter value.

4

Select the Date object that encapsulates a relative time and date that you defined in a scripted function and click Select.

You set the timeout.date attribute to a relative date and time that a scripted function calculates.

What to do next

Define the external input parameters that the user interaction requires from the user. See Define the External Inputs for a User Interaction.
