Hello everyone!
I have one question, because it is not obvieus to me. When I set an infinite timeout somewhere in a step in the beginning of the process - does the timeout stop when the process reaches one of the end steps, or does it go on and on an on? ;-)

Hi Michał,
each timeout is stoped once the workflow leaves the current step. The interval makes no difference in this case. On the other hand you can accidentally create an infinite timeout from a timeout which should be created only once. This can happen if the timeout uses a path which moves the workflow to the same step. This will trigger the timeout again. Independent of the setting, each timeout will create a new version. So you should be careful with this. :)
If you want an infinite timeout across all steps you should check the cycling actions under the global actions.

The thing I wanted to achieve was to make a universal timeout working throughout the whole process, that would send reminders to the users after 3 days each object has been not processed. Keeping in mind your answer, I would have to setup timeuot on each step separately. That's not really a problem though :)
