Workflow and ServiceDesk Community

In this article I will show you how to create a Timer or Countdown in the  Forms (Web) Project Type

Add a Form Builder component to the Workflow.

Add a Textbox to the Form.

Change the Control ID: “counter”.

Now edit the Web Form.

Go to the Behaviour tab.

Add timer() to the onload event for the Body.

var count = 30;
var x;
function timer() {
    x = setTimeout("timer()",1000);
    count = count-1;
    document.getElementById("counter").value = count;
}

Change count to the value you wish to count down from.

This could be done with a Label instead of a textbox.

document.getElementById("counter2").innerHTML = count;
