So I have a button that when clicked I want it to navigate to next page and trigger the timer to start.

    By the sounds of it, your best bet would be to set a global variable before your navigate event on your button click. Then have the timer start based on that global variable.

     

    Button - OnSelect:

    Set(gblStartTimer, true);
    Navigate(Screen2);

     Timer - Start:

    gblStartTimer

    But you'll also have to remember to clear that variable at the end of your timer run:

     Timer - OnTimerEnd:

    ...
    Whatever events your timer does.
    ...
    Set(gblStartTimer, false);
