Issues with Document Composition and WF Timer

Hi - I have a document composition action set on a timer.  I want the timer to run at 1 minute intervals to see if any new unity forms have entered the queue and need to run the action.  The problem is, the timer keeps rerunning the document composition action over and over again and I end up with hundreds of duplicates.  How do you ensure that a document composition action only runs once for a particular unity form?  Thanks.

Best Practice: Transition the document out of the queue at the end of the timer logic.

"Do not let documents sit in a timer queue indefinitely. When a timer executes, the document should leave the queue in most cases."

Otherwise, add Rule: Related Item Exists (search for the composed document) and only run ACTION: Compose Document on False.
