On Timeout

Scope

• Book Page > Time Control > On Timeout x property

Purpose

The On Timeout property is used to specify the action(s) that should be performed when the time (elapsed time after the start of the parent Time Control) specified in the associated associated Time x property is reached.

Use

When the On Timeout x property is initially activated it contains only an Add link. Clicking on this adds a two-column table to the property text area. The two columns are populated by way of drop-down pick-lists. These are (from left to right):

• Target Object: The Book Page object against which the associated action should be performed. This drop-down is automatically populated with all objects in the page. (This is one reason why it is recommended that you always provide meaningful names for your objects.)
• Action: The action that should be performed against the associated object. Refer to the wiki page for the relevant object type for a full list of available actions for that object type.

A Time Control can contain up to eight Time/On Timeout pairs, each of which can trigger multiple actions.
