Wait for Update (AgileXRM 2011)

This activity is used to wait until a condition is met in XRM repository. This can be used in many scenarios. For example:

The process will wait until the condition configured in the query is met.

It is common to Add a Timer to this shape in order not to wait indefinitely. This way when the due date is reached, the process will continue using the alternative route:

Add/Remove Timer

Right-clicking the shape brings up the Add Timer menu action. Clicking it adds a timer to the shape, allowing the process modeler to add an alternative route out of the shape when the configured Time Span times out.

Right-clicking a shape with a Timer shows a Remove Timer menu action, which would remove the timer from the shape.
