Start From Timer

With this node, a workable is created when the configured times reaches its next execution time.

It has the following configuration options:

  • Day of month: here you can specify the days of the month when the timer should run. You can select to run the timer on all days, or on one specific day of the month. The day of the month can also be specified relative to a the start or end of the month.
  • Optionally limit the day to certain days of the week: here you can select checkboxes to limit certain days of the week when the timer should run.

    Examples

    • If you select Run every day and you select the checkboxes Mon and Tue, the timer will run every Monday and Tuesday.
    • If you select Run each first day of the month and you select the checkboxes Mon and Tue, the timer will run on each first enabled day, so each Monday or Tuesday of the month.
    • If you select Run each last day of the month and you select the checkbox Fri, the timer will run on the last Friday of the month.
  • How late should the timer fire the first time on active day: here you can specify the time of day the timer should run. For timers where repeat is enabled: this time is the first time the timer will run on a day the timer must run.
  • Repeat Mode: here you can specify how the timer should repeat. Options:
    • Fire only once: there will be no repeating.
    • Repeat rest of day: the timer will stop the next day. The timer will only run that day.
    • Repeat a fixed number of time: the timer will fire exactly as many times as you select. The timer might fire less often if there is not enough time in the day (after the first fire) to fire the specified number of times.
  • How much after the first fire should the timer fire again: here you can specify the time between two fires of the timer on the same day.
  • Enabled: if you select this checkbox, the timer will be enabled.
  • Workable name: here you can specify the name to assign to the created workable. Leave this parameter empty if you do not have a specific name to assign. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder.
  • Jacket name: here you can specify a jacket name that will be searched. If found, the new workable will be linked to the jacket. If not found, a new jacket will be created, and the specified name will be assigned to it. Leave this parameter empty if you do not want to link to an existing jacket. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder.
  • Priority: in this drop-down list you can specify the priority to assign to the created workable.
  • User: here you can specify the created by user to assign to the created workable. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder.
