    Number of repetitions

    Type in the number of executions that should occur in addition to the first execution.

    Time interval (sec)

    Type in (in seconds) the time interval between triggerings. For long intervals, use a CRON-based trigger.
    Information noteNote: Fields marked with an exclamation mark are mandatory.
    The following fields are read-only triggering information which are displayed automatically, as soon as the trigger is saved (hence fired).

    Number of times the trigger has already fired.

    Date and time at which the previous triggering took place.

    Next fire

    Date and time at which the next triggering will take place.
    Information noteWarning: If you click on any trigger in the list before finalizing the creation or modification of the current trigger, a dialog box prompts you to save the parameters in the configuration panel before switching to another trigger. Click Cancel to return to the configuration panel and save the parameters.
  4. Click Save to validate the simple trigger configuration.
    The corresponding rule is executed immediately.

Results

Once the trigger executes all of the expected executions, the trigger disappears from the scheduled execution list.
