05Interval field vs cron expression
Two Schedule Triggers sit side by side — one sets the Hours field to 6, the other writes 0 */6 * * * into the Custom (Cron) field. Same six-hour cadence, two syntaxes. Set writes that fact down in one line.
Best forthe UI for simple cadences, cron for complex conditions
