Assigning Non-Edge Cloud Tasks

The Time Trigger editor can only trigger workflow activities that happen in Edge Cloud. Use the Tasks widget to assign, prioritize, and track essential office activities that do not happen within your Edge Cloud system. See "Tasks Widget" for details.

Open the Time Trigger Editor

Select Editors from the Tools section of the Home ribbon bar. Then, from the Workflows section, open the Time Triggers editor. (You can also use the Search field to look for the editor you want to work with.)

Click add in the Time Triggers list to create a new time trigger, or select to work with an existing record. Then enter the time trigger details.

Start / End Dates

Enter the first and last dates that you want the trigger to be activated. If you want the trigger to recur for an undetermined length of time, leave the end date blank.
