Time triggers allow you to execute a Configuration at certain times of the day/week/month. Aside from the Periodic trigger (which allows you specify time intervals), each time trigger requires a date, a time or a date and time for when it should run. To assist you in providing the date/time you want, Continua uses a special helper which has a few nifty features. The date/time field looks like any other text input field. When first loaded up, the filed will contain the current date/time.
The currently selected field will have its value highlighted. In the picture above, you can see that field is 24, the day of the month. Even though it's a text input field, it has a number of both keyboard and mouse short cuts that assist you in updating values.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| 0 - 9 | Changes the numeric value of the field |
| A | Changes PM value to AM |
| P | Changes AM value to PM |
| Up/Down Arrow | Changes value by 1 |
| Left/Right Arrow | Moves current edit field to next/previous |
| Home | Moves current edit field to the first field |
| End | Moves current edit field to the last field |
| CTRL-Home | Updates entire field to current date/time |
| CTRL-End | Clears the date/time |
| separator | Moves to next field if the correct separator is used |
| Mouse wheel up/down | Changes value by 1 |
