• The cycle is of continuous type, i.e. the cycle repeats after a fixed-length pause between executions.
• The period duration is 1h. 
• The paus pause between executions execution of cycles within the cycle given period is specified to be 15 minutes.
• The cycle is repeated for a maximum of 10 times.
• The first cycle is specified to start at midnight, i.e. begin of day, in the workflow's time zone, with the last cycle being started 23 hours later or when hitting the limit specified.

Ticking Execution

This cycle type allow to specify

• a fixed-length interval between cycle executions - consider that the execution time of jobs spawned by a Cycle Instruction might vary between cycles,

Explanation:

• The property editor displays the summary information of the period.
• The period is configured
  • by use of a frequency, for example every day,
    • if an order's scheduled date (Daily Plan date) is not matched by a frequency then the order will skip the Cycle Instruction,
    • otherwise the order considers the Cycle Instruction and e.g. waits for the begin of the first cycle,
  • by period details specifying the begin and duration of the period, e.g. begin of day for 23 hours,
  • by repeat details specifying for example a 2 minutes fixed-length interval between cycles.
