      Technical Users

      Unless it is specifically required, enter the Seconds value as 0 (zero). If all of the times within the list have a Seconds value of 0 (zero), the DateTime trigger will optimise itself to only check if the target date/time has been reached every sixty seconds. If a Seconds value has been set that isn't 0 (zero), the trigger will then check every single second.
