Title: All nodes require a Title. This descriptor will display in various views of process history.
Frequency: Frequency indicates how often the workflow engine will evaluate the conditions of this import node. The default frequency for all nodes is 15 minutes. This may be adjusted down to 1 minute, or up to any extended interval you like. In this context, Frequency indicates the interval at which the CRON expression is evaluated. Frequency and the expression can play against each other in cases where your expression identifies an interval that is faster than the specified Frequency.
Source Path: The file pickup location for this import node.
Create process without files: Use this option if you wish to create a new process with no document attached. This feature allows the node to be used much like a job scheduler. This is helpful when performing tasks like synchronizing lists external data sources, or kicking off form processes at specific intervals.
CRON Expression: The expression to evaluate. The CRON expression is evaluated to identify it’s next expected run time at each interval specified in Frequency.
| Info |
|---|
For CRON to work, the node must be able to know when it last passed the expression test. For each workflow, the last successful execution time is written to a file, organized in folders by the workflow ID. This file is store in a subfolder of %LocalAppData% for the service account running the GlobalCapture engine service. |

Note, you may only use CRON Import to “Create process without files” in workflows where the node is the ONLY import node in that workflow. Multiple import nodes on a single workflow design are not supported when using this feature. |
