AutomationAn extra option has been added to the Trigger field of automation rules.
It is the option ‘After delay’.

Adding a delay action
The second rule then defines how much time needs to have passed before the action(s) of the first rule get executed.
Automation rule that defines delay
An example of a delayed rule has been added to 4me’s online help.  This example describes how a delayed rule is used to send a reminder to a change approver after 1 day.  This example can also be found in the 4me demo data (see the end of the example for details).
