The time to wait, in the unit selected in the list below it: Seconds, Minutes or Hours.

Result

What this action passes on to the next action. See Action results for how results travel through a workflow.

Result	Value
True	The time is up. A Maximum timeout that is not a number counts as 0: the action doesn’t wait. The number of errors of the previous action is kept: this action doesn’t reset it. As the last action after an action with errors (for example a failed action on a failure hop), the workflow still ends as failed, although this action is true: add a Success action after it to end the workflow successfully.
False	Only when the workflow is stopped while the action waits, for example by an Abort in a parallel branch. No hop from the action is followed then.
