# Schedules and recurrence

The workflow trigger owns timing. Studio can represent one-time, hourly, daily, weekly, interval, and custom cron schedules with an explicit time zone.

*Studio interface in English. Sample data.*

## Set reliable timing

1. Open the schedule’s workflow canvas.
2. Choose the schedule trigger and the simplest recurrence that matches the requirement.
3. Set the local time and confirm the displayed time zone.
4. For a custom cron value, use a valid five-part expression and verify its next run.
5. Save, test once manually, then activate the workflow.

## Expected result

The schedule card shows a human-readable recurrence and the intended next time. Daylight-saving changes follow the selected time zone. Avoid creating overlapping intervals when a prior run can still be active; check `Runs` before shortening a cadence.
