How can I send repeating e-mail’s every one hour after an action is overdue?

WorkflowGen will send only one e-mail per overdue notification, even though an overdue event condition may evaluate to true every time the windows service (WfgWorkflowEngineService) is run and the notification management task is executed. So if you want to send repeating emails every one hour after an action is overdue, you should add multiple additional notifications with conditions stipulating the “DateDiff” VBScript function, the Current action.Deadline macro (<WF_ACTIVITY_INST_LIMIT_DATETIME>) and the System.Date/Time macro (<WF_SYSTEM_DATETIME>).
Notification 1 : DateDiff("h",<WF_ACTIVITY_INST_LIMIT_DATETIME>,<WF_SYSTEM_DATETIME>) >= 1
Notification 2 : DateDiff("h",<WF_ACTIVITY_INST_LIMIT_DATETIME>,<WF_SYSTEM_DATETIME>) >= 2
Notification 3 : DateDiff("h",<WF_ACTIVITY_INST_LIMIT_DATETIME>,<WF_SYSTEM_DATETIME>) >= 3
Note
By default, WfgWorkflowEngineService is scheduled to run every 5 mins.
Can we have multi-level delegations? For e.g. user A delegates some actions to user B and user B delegates some actions to user C. So can user C in turn perform A’s actions?
No, we can not have multi-level delegations in WorkflowGen. If user A delegates some actions to B then when B logs into his/her home page, in the drop down box on the top of the page he/she can choose to perform the role as himself/herself or as the delegated user (A). But if B delegates some actions to C then when C logs in to his/her home page, in the drop down box on the top of the page he/she can choose to perform the role as himself/herself or as B but not as A. However WorkflowGen supports bidirectional delegations. So if A delegates some actions to B, B can also delegate some of his/her actions to A. Depending on who logs in to his/her home page, he/she can perform role of the other person as a delegated user.
