Release date: 2025-02-20

Using Cron syntax, you can define more granular schedules than previously possible with just weekday and time selections. For example, it is now possible to create a single time region query that marks periods like “At 21:00 on the second Tuesday of every other month” or “Weekdays 9-5.” To try it out create an Annotation, toggle the Advanced switch and use Cron syntax to set more granular time region controls.
