General Properties

Disable Activity (checkbox):  Allows the disabling of the activity. If checked, the activity will be greyed out in the designer and will be skipped in the workflow process.

Stop After Processing: Determine if this activity should stop after execution or continue processing the children activities. This is helpful in debugging and walking through the workflow one activity at a time.

Custom Code: Used to access the custom code for creation or editing. This 100% web-based feature allows creation of custom code, typically used for integrations. The code can run at different times in the workflow, such as before, during, or after the activity has been initialized.

Activity Timer Interval: The interval of time that must pass before the activity is executed inside the workflow engine a subsequent time. The interval will only be in affect when there are no accepted or pending tasks on the activity. Timers are generally used in combination with custom code so that the activity is only executed every X minutes instead of every time the workflow engine fires (i.e. check if fees are paid every 4 hours). The minimum allowed time lapse is 5 minutes.

Icon: Specifies the image name for activity icon shown on the eForm.
