You can specify the properties of wait nodes. Wait nodes specify that the process is halted until a specific event occurs.
About this task

Event names consist of three or four lowercase words, delimited by
periods. For example, maximo.workorder.update or maximo.po.statuschange.appr.
- The first word is always maximo.
- The second word is the name of the business object (MBO). For example, po.
