Setting a Schedule¶
When creating or editing a job:
- Enter the cron expression in the Schedule field
- The UI shows a human-readable preview
- Save the job — scheduling starts immediately
Timezone¶
All schedules run in the backend server's timezone (default: UTC).
Manual Override¶
Scheduled jobs can be triggered manually at any time via Run Now. This does not affect the next scheduled execution.
