Overview

The Counter is a component designed to measure time or duration, displayed in the HH format. It allows users to track events by either counting up (like a stopwatch) or counting down (like a countdown timer).

For example, you might use a Counter in a project management dashboard to count down the time remaining for a task deadline. As time progresses, the Counter updates in real-time, helping users stay aware of time-sensitive activities.

Add Condition & Group Condition

Add Condition & Group Conditions

Condition	Description

Condition	Description
Add Condition	The Add Condition feature allows users to define multiple criteria that must be met for a validation rule to trigger. This feature is used to create complex logic by combining different conditions that Salesforce evaluates before allowing a record to be saved.
Add Group Condition	The Add Group Condition feature allows users to group multiple conditions together, creating complex logic that involves different sets of criteria. This feature is particularly useful when combining conditions that should be evaluated as a unit (logical OR within a group) or when nesting conditions for more advanced logic.

Filter Operator:

Note: Before using the filter criteria, it's important to understand which filter operators are supported for each field type

Here, we have onload event, on start event, on stop event, on tick event, on warning event actions are available for this components.

Counter Events

Counter Event	Description

Counter Event	Description

on Stop	This event action is triggered when the counter time stop.
on Tick	This event action is triggered when the counter time is tick.
on Warning	This event action is triggered when the counter time warning is shows.

Below here is the onload event workflow action.
