Property Value Description
Trigger Mode drop-down list Determines when a TimeTrigger fires.

Interval fires a trigger each time the specified interval elapses. You would use it to fire the trigger several times per day (for example, every 5 minutes).

Daily fires the trigger at a specific time on selected days of the week, and includes a randomized interval so that the trigger does not fire at exactly the same time every day.

Manual requires a human to fire a trigger.

Trigger Mode, Time of Day hour Configures either a specific time during the day or a time range with Start Time and End Time properties.
Trigger Mode, Randomization hour minute second Configures an event at random times based on the defined interval.
