Options Descriptions
Name By default, the displayed name is the name of the selected
workflow.
This name is displayed in the subscription list. The name must
be unique in the tenant.
Priority The order in which the blocking subscriptions run.
Zero is the highest priority. If an event topic has multiple blocking
workflow subscriptions with the same priority, the subscriptions
are then processed in alphabetical order based on the
subscription name.
This option is only available for blocking workflow subscriptions.
Timeout (min) Specify the number of minutes the workflow has to finish before
it is considered failed.
If the workflow fails to finish in the specified amount of time, the
workflow is canceled and the message is sent to the next
subscription in the priority list.
If you do not provide a value, the timeout is unlimited.
Services that expect a reply, to blocking or replyable events,
might have their own default timeout values. For example, IaaS
provisioning and life cycle event topics time out at 30 minutes.
This value is configured on the IaaS server. Approval topics
have a 24 hour default value. This value is configured on the
system.
