Modifying the Intervals for Time Elapsed Legacy Workflows

Overview

This article explains how to add new time intervals to the dropdown menu that used for after time elapses workflows. By default, the time intervals are as follows:

  • 0 hours
  • 4 hours
  • 8 hours
  • 12 hours

  • 2 days
  • 3 days
  • 4 days

Steps to Complete

As an example, we will add a "1 hour" interval. You can define the time values listed in this dropdown menu through Studio. Follow the steps to add the 1 hour time interval to the dropdown list:

  1. From the admin page, scroll down to Developer Tools.
  2. Click on the Dropdown Editor link.
  3. In the dropdown listing on the left hand side, click on "tselect_type_dom".
  4. Scroll down to the end and you will see input boxes named "Item Name" and "Display Label"
  5. The Item Name field should contain the number of seconds that you wish your new time interval to be. For example, you would enter in 3600 in the Item Name field since we want to set the new time interval to equal 1 hour.
  6. Enter in "1 hour" into the Display label field.
  7. Click the Add button.
  8. Scroll up to the top and click Save.
