The "Wait" activity basically does nothing, and it temporarily halts the execution of the workflow branch it is located in – for all devices, not just the device the Wait is assigned to. After the wait time has expired, the execution proceeds to the next activity.

When following a (voice) Dial, Video Dial, or Start ... Scan activity, the Wait has the apparent effect of giving duration to that activity, and this construction is the most convenient method of controlling the duration. The Wait activity also comes in useful whenever some tasks need to be cleanly separated in time for one reason or other.

For some usage examples, see sections "Basics of Creating Scripts (with Voice)", "While Loops", "Example 2: Concurrent Activities on Different Devices", and "Notes on Script-controlled Logfile Recording".

See section "Wait" for full details on this activity.
