The timer functionality in Common Intake is based upon milestones functionality. A 'timer' milestone can be configured to be started when an application for a program is submitted. To achieve this:
- Create or locate an XML element Milestone as a direct child of the ProgramType element.
- On the Milestone element the following attributes can be specified:
Table 1. Milestone Attributes. This table describes Milestone attributes.

This attribute specifies the primary key of
the milestone to be created when this particular program is
applied for. |
Note: A milestone configuration record contains an Earliest Start Day field (specified in days) to support functionality for case and service plan milestones. This field is defined as "The shortest time in days that this milestone can start after the service plan or case start date.". If is it set to anything other than 0 for an application program timer it has the effect of extending the timer by the specified number of days.
