Configuring this enables the node to have a self-triggering capability. You can choose to set a trigger frequency for seconds, minutes, hours, or days, which is stored in the metadata. The timing will start after you publish the flow.
Example: If configured to start at minute 5 for every hour and execute once every 12 minutes with the current time as 14:29 at time zone UTC+8:00, the start of the execution will be at 14:41, and the subsequent execution times will be 14:53, 15:05, 15:17, etc.
