Milestone node

5min

This node can be used to determine how much time it takes for a certain part of the process to be executed.

Settings

In the property output field, you should select a number type property.

The node will record measured time in that property. Keep in mind that if you don`t have a 'number' type property, you will get a 'No supported properties available' message in the node settings.

after you selected the output property you should select a countdown node.

Only the nodes that are before the milestone node can be selected as countdown points. The mile node will measure the time that it takes to get from the selected countdown node to the milestone node.

You can also select the time measurement unit (seconds, minutes, hours) next to the countdown node.

You can also select multiple countdown nodes if you have multiple number-type fields in your process.

Example

We have the process that creates a document and sends it to the customer.

Document image


If we need to measure how much time it will take for this process to execute we need to first create a 'number-type' property.

Then we need to add a milestone node at the end.

Document image


Then we need to choose a completion time field as an output property and a gather data node as a countdown node.

Now we can start the process.

We can see that it took 26 minutes for the process to go from the 'Gather data' node to the 'Milestone' node.
