Hopefully another simple question. Attached is a quick graph I created to compare notifications and acknowledgements received from our printers. An Outlook macros dumps the CSV file attachments from my email account and then the graph grabs them and runs a comparison. At the end of the process I move the files into a "done" directory. Right now I just use the sleep function to delay the MoveFile command. It works, but I would like instead to tie a clock to the last step of the main procedure. Unfortunately I have not been able to figure the clock thing out.

Can you point me to an example of a how to hook up the clock?

To view node clocks, in BRE go to "Tools > Preferences > Display Modes" and, making sure the Display mode is set to "Edit", under "Show" select "Clocks" and click OK.

Now you'll see clock in and out connectors on each node, and you can wire the dependencies from left to right, similar to how you wire node data flows together.

I'd also recommend making use of the Composite nodes. You've essentially got two separate processes: "compare notifications and acknowledgements" and "cleanup". You can group them accordingly by selecting the associated nodes and choosing "Edit > Group Selected Nodes". This will create a composite which will allow you to more easily synchronize the two separate processes. You can also define separate parameters for each process if necessary.

Attached is your graph modified according to the above.

Most cool, thanks! I was dragging a clock out of the "Miscellaneous" library and trying to figure out how to hook it up; I did not know to check the clock option under "Show". I really appreciate the help!
