Standard Time records an expected duration. Exceeding it provides a visual indication; it does not, by itself, stop an operator from completing the step.
Set time on a step
Open More → Workflow Settings.
Open Advanced settings. Under Calculate standard times, choose Steps.
Select the step and open Process.
Enter its Standard Time value and unit.
Preview the step, then verify the display in a test session.
Advanced settings contains the Workflow/Steps timing choice. Workflow is selected here; choose Steps in an editable draft to configure each step’s target. This capture is read-only.
If the step's Standard Time control is absent, check the workflow-level timing choice. Workflows using workflow-level timing have their time configured at that level instead.
What to expect
The operator can compare elapsed time with the expected duration. An overrun is shown visually, allowing the operator or reviewer to identify that the work took longer than planned.
The timing target alone does not:
Prevent signing after the target is exceeded.
Require an additional supervisor signature.
Reject a unit or freeze a Work Order.
Automatically send a notification.
Enforce a minimum waiting period.
Test it
For a test workflow, set a short step target such as one minute. Stay on the step beyond the target, inspect the overrun indication, and verify that time alone does not block completion.
Return to the actual expected duration after testing.
If you need an enforced time rule
Describe the exact requirement to your implementer: a minimum dwell time, maximum usable-material time, escalation, or reporting are different problems.
Do not assume the ordinary route-condition picker exposes elapsed step time, or that adding a Step is Closed trigger automatically implements an overrun alert. A separate verified design is needed.
Part Apply/Cure settings are a different mechanism and should be configured and tested as part of the relevant material/process setup.
