Timer

Timed triggers can be defined in several ways depending on the desired time scale.
You can select a time scale from the corresponding tabs :

Minutes

Select a frequency in minutes :

You can also specify a “second”. This means that the trigger will happen when the second is equal to the selected second.

Example :
I configured “Every 5 minutes on second 10”.
This means the trigger will happen at :

11:00:10
11:05:10
11:10:10
11:15:10
11:20:10
…

Hourly

Select a frequency in hours :

You can also specify a “minute” and a “second”. This means that the trigger will happen when the minute:second is equal to the selected minute:second.

Example :
I configured “Every 12 hours on minute 5 and second 15”.
This means the trigger will happen at :

2019-10-28 at 11:05:15
2019-10-28 at 23:05:15
2019-10-29 at 11:05:15
2019-10-29 at 23:05:15
…

Daily

Select a frequency in days :

You can also specify a “hour”, a “minute” and a “second”. This means that the trigger will happen when the hour:minute:second is equal to the selected hour:minute:second.

Example :
I configured “Every 1 day on hour 8 on minute 30 and second 15”.
This means the trigger will happen at :

2019-10-01 at 08:30:15
2019-11-01 at 08:30:15
2019-12-01 at 08:30:15
…

Weekly

Select desired days of the week :

You can also specify a “hour”, a “minute” and a “second”. This means that the trigger will happen when the hour:minute:second is equal to the selected hour:minute:second.

Example :
I configured “Every Monday and Wednesday on hour 9 on minute 30 and second 20”.
This means the trigger will happen at :

Monday 2019-10-07 at 09:30:20
Wednesday 2019-10-09 at 09:30:20
Monday 2019-10-14 at 09:30:20
Wednesday 2019-10-16 at 09:30:20
…

Monthly

Select desired day of the month :

You can also specify monthly frequency, a “hour”, a “minute” and a “second”. This means that the trigger will happen every X months when the hour:minute:second is equal to the selected hour:minute:second.
Instead of a day number, you can also select “Last day”, which will always be the last day of the month.

Example :
I configured “On day #2, every 1 month on hour 9 on minute 30 and second 20”.
This means the trigger will happen at :

2019-10-02 at 09:15:30
2019-11-02 at 09:15:30
2019-12-02 at 09:15:30
2020-01-02 at 09:15:30
…

Advanced

For more complex trigger expressions, you can use CRON expressions

The supported expressions are documented here : https://www.quartz-scheduler.net/documentation/quartz-3.x/tutorial/crontrigger.html

Data condition

To add a Data Condition, select the desired type :

Add logical condition : this allows to compare a widget field value to a target for example
Add field value watcher : this allows to follow a field value over time

Logical Condition

Field value watcher
