They can also be used with '''[[ReportProperty]]''' to send summary report information.
 
The system is configured to automatically stop processing any workflows configured this way after 5 loops.
Once you have configured the Workflow the '''Activate''' button can be used to start the Workflow. Once activated a '''Deactivate''' button will be visible that can be used to stop the workflow.
 
==Configuring a Monthly Recurring Workflow==
If you wish to have a recurring workflow send an e-mail on a particular day or days of the month you can use the following conditions:
* '''date_format(now(),"%d")="01"''' -Will be true only on the 1st of the month
* '''date_format(now(),"%d") in ("01","15")''' - Will be true on the 1st and 15th of the month.
 
You will need to configure an empty task (i.e. and '''Acknowledgement''' with no recipients) to manage the branching based on the date, and an empty task to manage the 1 day delay so the workflow will loop daily and connect to the task that sends the e-mail on the appropriate day(s).
