Use this instruction to prevent a specified
timer from calling its expiration workflow map when the timer expires.
The timer remains suspended until it is reactivated by a ResumeTimer system
function.
A suspended timer continues to count down.
If the timer interval expires, the timer expiration workflow map is
not called until the timer is reactivated. Alternatively, you can
use an EndTimer or EndAllTimers system
function to terminate a suspended timer without resuming it.
To specify a SuspendTimer system
function:
- From the Timer Palette, drag a SuspendTimer step
onto the workflow map where you want to suspend a timer.
For information about including
multiple system functions in a single step, see About system steps.
- Enter the name of the timer that you want to suspend. Enter
the exact name of the timer in double quotation marks, or enter an
expression that exactly matches the name (case-sensitive) in the corresponding BeginTimer system
function. The SuspendTimer system
function has no effect if you enter the name of a nonexistent timer.
