Let's look at the **Time settings** for the **Update** button of [**Step 1** ](https://docs.senpiper.com/introduction/overview#step-1)of the [**Reimburesment workflow**](https://docs.senpiper.com/workflow-builder/introduction/overview). The **Update** button is to be made visible to the initiator only for 15 minutes. Please see the settings below that help you achieve this.
