25.2.6.9.1 Waiting Indefinitely for a Custom Signal
Use a Wait activity without a timeout to pause until custom application logic continues it.
Your Patient Onboarding workflow uses a Wait activity to pause until
the new patient completes their profile by providing a date of birth and proof of
insurance scan. If a Unified Task List "inbox" is not the kind of user experience
you want for your end users, you can use the combination of a Wait activity and a
later call to CONTINUE_ACTIVITY in the APEX_WORKFLOW
package to craft a custom user experience. Notice that by not choosing a
Timeout Type, you opt to wait indefinitely until your own application logic
in another part of the application signals the waiting activity should continue.
