Overview
The Timer Activation Wizard is used to identify and activate actions that are automatically executed at a certain time. The wizard is used to identify the actions that are to be referenced and the schedule and time(s) at which they are to be run. All of the timer activations are stored in a list called “CorasWorks Timer Calendar” at the top of the site collection.
Almost any type of action can be executed, as long as the action definition does not require a user to provide information when the action is run. A filter can be defined so the actions are only executed when certain criteria are met. For example, you could use the Timer Activation Wizard to automatically publish completed tasks to an archive. This could be done every Friday night at midnight, or at whatever time and frequency works for your organization.
The Timer Activation does not support the Create Document, Go To URL, and Print Action types as, when run through the Timer Activation, they are missing context and information required to run.
