62 Setting Up the Timed Action Event

WebCenter Sites Help

Before any of your timed actions can be triggered, you must configure the timed action event so that it calculates deadlines at regularly occurring intervals. Note that there can be only one timed action event per WebCenter Sites system.

1. In the Workflow tab, double-click Timed Action Event.
2. In the action bar, click Edit.

   The Edit Workflow Timed Action Event opens.

3. Set the schedule for how often the state deadlines should be calculated in terms of months, days, hours and minutes, depending on the selected interval. Selected values are highlighted in blue. All values are toggled separately, so it is not necessary to use Ctrl to select multiple values.

   The method of setting a timed action event is similar to the method for setting a publication event. For more information, see the example schedule in the “Scheduling a Publish Event” in Administering Oracle WebCenter Sites.

4. In the Enabled Dates and Times field, select Enabled.
5. Click Save.

   A summary of the schedule opens.

WebCenter Sites uses the same abbreviations and codes to summarize the schedule for the timed action event that it does for your publishing events. For information about how to read the schedule, see “Reading the Schedule Abbreviations” in Administering Oracle WebCenter Sites.
