Plan View for Triggers
Note
Note that trigger for a plan is different from an event trigger in scheduling.
To create a trigger for a plan, you specify the time and frequency that the plan is to be executed. You can also apply overrides to any inherited parameters.
Note
Plan owners can create triggers for their plans. Other users must have the appropriate privileges to create triggers for the plan.

Timezone: Select the timezone for the time that you are specifying in the trigger's schedule.
To use UTC time zone, select
UTCin the drop-down.For a list of supported timezones, see Supported Time Zone Values.
Frequency: Specify how frequently the plan is triggered:
On: You can specify multiple entries to trigger the plan more frequently.
cron: Set the schedule according to cron syntax.
Time zone settings set in the drop-down are used with the cron schedule.
For more information, see cron Schedule Syntax Reference.
Parameter overrides: See below.

Parameter Overrides
As needed, you can specify overrides to parameters inherited from the tasks in a plan. Specified values are applied only when the plan run is executed based on this trigger.
Note
In a trigger, displayed parameter values may be inherited from the plan that is being triggered. To ensure that the proper value is used, you should set a specific value for the override in the trigger. This is a known issue.
To apply a parameter override:
Locate the parameter to override.
Verify that the parameter is sourced from the correct object.
Click Override.
Enter the value to apply.
Repeat as needed for other parameter overrides.
Click Save.
For more information, see Overview of Parameterization.
Enable or Disable Trigger
After a trigger has been saved, you can enable or disable it when the trigger node in the plan is selected.
