Timer Rule Problem

@Nanna_Agesen

Would there be a way to have a countdown timer shown on my site map?

It’s not easy but others have posted examples on the forum.

The trick of it is you need to have a timer that only sleeps for a second, updates a Number Item with the total amount of time remaining, then gets recreated to sleep for another second.

Design Pattern: Recursive Timers

Problem Statement Often one finds a situation where at the end of a triggered timer one wants to reschedule the timer to go off again. But if you do this in the normal way that means you need a full copy of the Timer’s body inside the Timer’s body inside the Timer’s body and so on and so on ad infinitum. This DP is deprecated. Please see Design Pattern: Looping Timers for the current best way to handle this type of problem.
