Timer offset in minutes
1

Hi,

how is it possible to set a step with a timer that first activates e.g. with an offset of 75 minutes.

Unfortunatelly the offset dropdown with "Day" can't be changed to "Minutes". I tried different combinations of options and the only one was:

- First activation
> Start date: Immediate or Step entry date
> Offset 0 day
> Interval 75 Minutes
- Repeat in cycles: yes
> Number of executions 2 (finite number)

This way the 1st activation is immediatly and the 2nd and last 75 min later.

How can I achieve that there is only one activation with an offset of 75 minutes?

Kind regards
Sébastien

Hi Sébastien,
Perhaps you could use a technical datetime field set on entry to the step, with another DATEADD configuration (adding 75 minutes to the datetime set on entry). You could then use this technical field as the timer’s start date in the timer settings.

Best regards,
Adam

Hi,

thanks to both of you. 😊

I will give it a try. But it would be nicer if no technical field would be necessary.

Why not just enabling the dropdown with readonly default value „day“ next to offset to offer the selection in seconds, minutes, hours, …? What do you think about it?

Kind regards
Sébastien
