Instructions and examples #2

Could you post brief instructions with examples for the Notification Cron expressions. I just can't work them out.

dAnjou commented 4 years ago

Same here. I entered a perfectly fine cron expression and tapping Create doesn't do anything.

Got it, its quarz syntax as discribed here: https://github.com/jmrozanec/cron-utils/wiki/Cron-Time-related-definitions

dAnjou commented 4 years ago

Ah, got it as well. Example for "every 5 minutes": 0 0/5 * * * ?.

The creation dialog should contain some examples that you can directly use because it's also quite cumbersome to enter.

I think the cron field should have more hints.

fi3te commented 4 years ago

I have released a new version with a separate help dialog.

fi3te commented 4 years ago

@shreyasminocha @dAnjou I have created a separate issue for the input improvements.
