Example

Consider a task management application that manages and splits the work item between the teams. To keep track of the deadline, you can install the timer extension from Zoho Marketplace and embed it into the application.

For configuring this extension:
Embed this extension in any of your pages in your application and add the mentioned page parameters to the page.

You can access this page through different methods like configuring workflows, functions, custom actions in reports, panel actions in pages, and so on. Here, we have used openUrl task to supply the values for the specified page parameters as shown below. 
  1. openUrl("#Page:dashboard?endtime=21-apr-2023 19:00:00&timezone=IST);
The team members can view their deadline in real time on their dashboard page. Based on the remaining time limit, they can plan and complete the task on time.
