Timer Stopper

The Timer Stopper object is used to terminate a previously defined timer object within the flow.

Purpose of the Timer Stopper Object​

The Timer Stopper object is used to stop a running timer within workflow processes. This object becomes active when it is necessary to terminate an active timer at a specific point in the process. It is particularly useful in cases where a waiting period, reminder mechanism, or time-based control needs to be manually or procedurally ended.

How to Use​

  • Drag and drop the Timer Stopper object from the Toolbox panel onto the flow design canvas.
  • Place it at the appropriate location in the flow and connect it using arrows to define the process path.
  • When clicked, the object becomes configurable through the Property Viewer panel.

Property Viewer Tabs​

When the Timer Stopper object is selected, the following tabs are displayed in the Property Viewer panel:

1. Appearance​

  • Object Name: The internal system name of the object.
  • Caption: The label text displayed on the UI.
  • Is Lock: Prevents the object from being moved during design time.
  • Size: Defines the width and height of the object.

2. Properties​

  • Target Timer: Lists previously defined timer objects within the flow. This field allows the selection of which timer the Timer Stopper will terminate.

3. Events​

Custom event methods can be defined for the Timer Stopper object. When an event is double-clicked in the Events tab, the corresponding method block is automatically generated in the flow’s code editor (FlowName.cs). The developer can then write the required logic within this method.
