Hi Everyone,
I've got a question. What is the difference between Message and Signal?

Hi Jake!
They are different types of Start Events for the Process. Signal Event automatically starts a process when a certain throwing signal is activated, as well as when a record is added, edited or deleted in the selected object. Message Event Initiates a sub-process that should be activated by a throw message of a parent process, as well as by event of an object or page.
thanx. Does the "Remind In" function work the same as "Start In?" For example, if I set 15 minutes for the "Remind In" input, will that remind me in 15 minutes from now, or will it remind me 15 minutes before the Start Time?
Jake,
The 'Remind In' function when creating the process calculates time for the reminder from Start time.
Along the same lines, is there any way to customize it such that you will receive a reminder an hour before the deadline? For example, if you had a long task (maybe a 24 hour task), could I design it such that a reminder is sent 23 hours after the Start Time (to give me a reminder an hour before the task is due)?
There are 2 ways for that. First, you have to remember that a business process is a standard workflow, so that if you set the reminder, it will be formed this way every time the process is run for each of the records. You can set the reminder by calculating how many hours after the start time the reminder has to come up, or by changing the reminder for the task manually, when system will from it for you as a user.
When I am setting the Conditional flow, how sensitive is the code to spaces? For example, is "x>10" read in the same way as "x > 10" and "x> 10"?
In this case, the code is not sensitive to spaces, so you can use both of the options.
