Timezone is not part of the five-field cron expression. Your server or scheduler sets the actual timezone; this selector only changes the preview. No job is created here.
What do the five fields mean?
From left to right: minute (0–59), hour (0–23), day of month (1–31), month (1–12) and weekday (0–7, Sunday is 0 or 7).
* means every value, , separates a list, - gives a range and / sets a step. For example, */15 in the minute field means every 15 minutes.
Check the date behind the expression
Use the upcoming runs to test your intention, not just the syntax. These schedules look similar but do different jobs:
0 9 * * MON-FRI09:00 on weekdays in the selected timezone.
*/35 * * * *At minutes 00 and 35 each hour — not a repeating 35-minute interval.
0 9 15 * MON09:00 on the 15th of the month or on Monday, rather than only a Monday that falls on the 15th.
Set the same timezone as your scheduler — a 09:00 local job is not necessarily a 09:00 UTC job. The five upcoming times use your selected timezone. Check how your server handles daylight-saving changes.
Which cron dialect can I enter?
Five fields: minute, hour, day of month, month and weekday. Names, lists, ranges, steps and standard aliases such as @daily are supported. Do not add a command, seconds or a year field. Quartz extensions such as L, W and # are not supported. Compare your server's behavior with the crontab reference.
The editor previews dates only. Copying an expression does not create a scheduled job.
