Scheduler recurrence patterns
You can set up a schedule to run repeatedly by configuring a recurrence pattern. Any recurrence pattern you set begins after the start time you specify.
You have several recurrence pattern options.
- Pre-defined - A set of common recurrence patterns from which you can select
- Cron expression - A string composed of 6 or 7 fields separated by white space that represents a set of times
- Simple custom recurrence pattern - A user interface for creating recurring patterns that is similar to many common meeting schedulers
All of the scheduler recurrence patterns are based on cron expressions. The scheduler provides pre-defined patterns in the user interface for easier creation of these cron expressions. If you write your own custom cron expression, it is a good practice to provide a meaningful description of the recurrence pattern, to make it easier for anyone who is not fluent in reading these expressions to understand the pattern.
