+1I have this Botflow.
That needs to execute some tasks.
those tasks can only be executed before 8PM or after 1AM everyday.
how can I script this in Nintex RPA LE.
So if time is between 8PM and 1AM do nothing.
Before 8PM & After 1AM can execute tasks.
Hope someone can help me.
With regards,
Jim

Hi Jim,
This is something I’ve done a few times before. I’ve worked with several financial institutions who’s software goes offline overnight.
My technique is to implement an while loop, evaluating the current time. If we’re outside of the time range, the script can continue. I’m using military time to account for AM/PM. I’d recommend running this task for each data record the script is processing.
One additional thing to consider, before exiting the loop you may want to unlock the machine, or re-login to any needed apps.
See below for a quick example, and let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Nick
+9Hello
Then you put an End Task or End All Tasks action within the If and End If action. Alternatively, if you look in the Flow menu on the left of the Bot, you will see other actions toward the bottom under Navigation that may suit your needs better to help the Bot to jump to the end of the botflow without processing any of the other actions. I had a sample botflow but I cannot attach it so please see my screenshots attached.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
