Scheduler patterns are used to match a date time occurrence, no matter if it represents an hour, a day, or anything else. Date time patterns are used in tagged values of a Scheduler in the component diagram. A pattern can be a sequence of sub-patterns.
- Commas separate the elements of the sequence, e.g.:
value1,value2,...
- A range matches all values within that range. The range is written as the lowest value and the highest value, separated by a hyphen:
value1-value2
...
| Pattern | Description | Allowed Values / Example |
|---|
| a | A single value. Values are always numbers except for weekdays. | an integer |
The following weekday values can be used (the part in brackets is optional):
Mon(day), Tue(sday), Wed(nesday), Thur(sday), Fri(day), Sat(urday), Sun(day) |
...
|
| a,b,c,d... | Comma separated list of values. | 0, |
215,30,45
Mon, Wed, Fri
|
| a-m | Range of values written as <lowest value>-<highest value>. | 0-30
Mon-Fri
|
| * | Matches every value. | Info |

| Note that this sub-pattern makes obsolete all previous sub-patterns if used in a sequence. |
|
|
| */a | Matches every a-th value. | */30 | every half hour (if value is in minutes) |
Patterns can be combined to a sequence. Each single pattern can be a sub-pattern in a sequence (see examples below).
Examples of a Date Time Patterns
3,10-15,33,30-40,56,*matches | Matches the single values 0, 2, and 3. |
10-15 |
matches | Matches a range of six numbers: 10,11,12,13,14, and 15. |
0,2,3,10-15 | Matches the single values 0, 2, and 3 and the range from 10-15. |
33 |
matches | Matches the single value 33. |
33,30-40 |
matches Matches the range of 11 numbers: 30 to 40 inclusive. |

|
: 56 | matches the single value 56*/15 | Matches every 15-th value, e.g. every quarter of an hour (0, 15, 30, 45) if the unit is "minutes". |
* |
matches Matches every value, e.g. |
Note that this sub-pattern every day if the unit is "days". |
30,* | Matches every value as the usage of * makes obsolete all previous |
