  • The component.countdown can only be used in a jig.default.
  • The countdown's separator is by default shown as a colon :.
  • The countdown starts when you navigate to the containing the component.countdown.
  • Use any inputs for the countdown configuration, for example, different types of datasources, states and inputs.
  • Use the set-state and reset-state actions to set and reset the countdown.
