Use Business Time
Specifies whether the delay duration is calculated based on Business Time.
When enabled, the delay progresses only during business hours defined by the Business Calendar of the user who initiated the process instance. If the initiating user does not have a specific Business Calendar, the system applies the default Business Calendar, if available. If no Business Calendar exists, the delay is calculated using continuous (calendar) time.
