Hi, I would like to ask if is there a possibility in the process model to get the value of the timer to start from an expression rule or constant?,My task is to create an admin page where the user can configure the cronjob like change the schedule and make it on and off on the specific page. does it have any alternatives on the process?Thank you!

Timers can be configured using constant or expression. Make use of the 'Delay until the date and time specified by the expression' radio button option under the 'Schedule Delay' header. Users can configure the expression or use the constant to define the date and time when the timer should start.
Be careful here! If you start a process that sits in memory indefinitely and repetitively triggers using a timer then the value inside any referenced constant will be cached and changing the value of the constant in a UI will not have any effect.
If you want to alter this value through an admin console you'd be better of holding that value in a database and dynamically fetching it into the process.
