If you want to put the task instance in held status when the task is started, select Hold on Start.  A Hold Reason field then displays which allows you to enter information about why the task will be put on hold when it starts.

Step 6

If the task is a Workflow (as shown here), and:

  • The Time Zone Preference field in the Workflow Details = Inherited, or the Time Zone Preference field in the Workflow Details = --System Default-- and the Task Timezone Preference Universal Controller system property = Inherited, the dialog shows the Time Zone field.
  • The Time Zone Preference field in the Workflow Details = Server, or the Time Zone Preference field in the Workflow Details = --System Default-- and the Task Timezone Preference Universal Controller system property = Server, the dialog does not show the Time Zone field.

Time Zone lets you select a time zone for this specific launch of the Workflow so that it runs, and evaluates both Run Criteria and Execution Restrictions, according to that time zone.
 
By default, the value of Time Zone is Server.
