A specification of one or more steps of a digital workflow specified using a graphical user interface is received. An indication of a program transfer control step in the digital workflow to return to a previously specified step in the digital workflow is received. The already specified specification of the one or more steps of the digital workflow is analyzed to determine one or more constraints of the program transfer control step. Based on the determined one or more constraints of the program transfer control step, a configuration of the program transfer control step in the digital workflow is restricted in the graphical user interface.

Transfer control step for digital workflows

A wait duration for a timer action element of a design-time flow plan is set. The wait duration being set relative to a specified data point of a table associated with the design-time flow plan. An operation associated with the timer action element executes at run-time to pause a flow for the wait duration prior to execution of an operation associated with an action element that is set to execute subsequent to the timer action element in the design-time flow plan. A specified timeframe for the timer action element of the design-time flow plan is set. The operation associated with the timer action element to pause the flow for the specified wait duration executes at run-time during the set specified timeframe. A natural language annotation associated with the timer action element of the design-time flow plan is displayed. The annotation presents the set duration and timeframe in a human-readable format.
