Time settings are used to disable the button automatically after a certain period of time if the concerned assignee hasn’t taken any action in that period.

| Do you want this button to disable after a certain time? | Select **Yes** if you want to disable the button after a period of time and then select the time duration after which you want it to be disabled |

Let's look at the **Time settings** for the **Update** button of [**Step 1** ](/workflow-builder/introduction/overview.md#step-1)of the [**Reimburesment workflow**](/workflow-builder/introduction/overview.md). 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.

The above settings will automatically disable the **Update** button after 15 minutes of form submission.
