You can use timer events to specify a time interval after or before which some activity is performed, or another path in your process is taken.
You can attach a timer event directly to an activity in your BPD or connect a timer event to other process steps using sequence lines. The following table describes the options:
| Timer event type | Description | Use to model... |
|---|---|---|
| Attached timer event | Attached directly to an activity in a BPD | Escalation paths |
| Intermediate timer event | Connected to other process steps using sequence lines | Delay timers |
