Cron expression helper
Remember field order when you schedule reminders, exports, or automation around course cohorts.

Frequently asked questions
- Will this run jobs on my server?
- No. It only labels fields in your browser. Scheduling still happens in your host, CI, or cron daemon.
- Seconds field?
- Some systems use a leading seconds field (six segments). Others use five. Match your provider’s documentation.
