Specify the amount of time the Wait Action will pause the execution of the Task. The Task will resume its operations with the next Action only after the wait time is over. The Wait Action accepts both a fixed value of one of the multiple common time units and numeric inputs from preceding Actions or Triggers using Variable Wizard.
