Timer example

In a loan processing business process, an approved loan is reevaluated if it is not funded within a 90 day rate-lock period.

In this example, the timer expires at the end of the rate-lock period. If the loan is funded before 90 days pass, the work item continues to the next step on the workflow map. If 90 days pass and the loan has not yet been funded, a submap that reevaluates loan approval is called.
