This page explains the behavior and settings of the Elapsed Time Branch step.
Elapsed Time Branch Behavior
Branches based on the elapsed time since the scenario started.
For example, you can automatically stop the scenario after 1 hour.
Elapsed Time Branch Settings
Condition Type
You can select from the following condition types:
- Equal to: Condition is met when the elapsed time equals the specified value
- Not equal to: Condition is met when the elapsed time does not equal the specified value
- Greater than or equal to: Condition is met when the elapsed time is greater than or equal to the specified value
- Less than or equal to: Condition is met when the elapsed time is less than or equal to the specified value
- Within range: Condition is met when the elapsed time is within the specified minimum and maximum values (inclusive)
Actions on Success
A list of actions to execute when the condition is met.
Actions on Failure
A list of actions to execute when the condition is not met.
Usage Examples
Stop the scenario after 1 hour
Set the condition type to "Greater than or equal to" and the value to 1 hour. Configure "End all scenario playback" in Actions on Success. This will automatically stop the scenario after 1 hour has elapsed since it started.
Execute specific actions only during the first 10 minutes
Set the condition type to "Less than or equal to" and the value to 10 minutes. Configure the desired actions in Actions on Success. After 10 minutes have passed, the condition will not be met and those actions will be skipped.
Change behavior between 30 minutes and 1 hour
Set the condition type to "Within range" with minimum value of 30 minutes and maximum value of 1 hour. Only during this time window will the Actions on Success be executed.
