There are multiple ways to create a trigger:

1. On the All Triggers or Active Triggers list, click the New drop-down list and select a trigger type. A Trigger Details pop-up displays that lets you enter / select information for a new trigger.
2. On the Triggers list for a specific trigger type, click the New icon. A Trigger Details pop-up displays that lets you enter / select information for a new trigger.
3. In the empty (except for default values) Trigger Details 14942441 that displays below the trigger list for a specific trigger type, enter / select information for a new trigger. If the Trigger Details displays information for an existing trigger, click the New button to clear the Trigger Details and enter / select information for a new trigger.
4. Create a copy of a trigger by clicking the Copy button in the Trigger Details and renaming the trigger.

How the time change is handled differs between interval-based times (such as "every 15 minutes") and absolute times (such as "2:30 a.m.").

Interval-Based Times

...

An interval-based time Cron or Time trigger defined to run at a time that is being skipped due to the time change will also be "skipped," as shown in the following example; the time zone is Eastern (EST) and the time changes from 2 a.m. EST to 3 a.m. on March 12. In this case, the 15 minute interval trigger will run at the following times:

Sunday, March 12, 2017 00:00:00 EST -0500
Sunday, March 12, 2017 00:15:00 EST -0500

When Time Moves Back

A Time or Cron trigger defined to run at a time that is being repeated due to the time change will also be repeated, as shown in the following example; the time zone is Eastern (EST) and the time changes from 2 a.m. EST to 1 a.m. on November 5. In this case, the 15 minute interval trigger will run at the following times:

Sunday, November 05, 2017 00:00:00 EDT -0400
Sunday, November 05, 2017 00:15:00 EDT -0400
Sunday, November 05, 2017 00:30:00 EDT -0400

For example: A trigger is defined for every Sunday at 1:30 a.m. On November 5, 2017, the time changes from 2 a.m. EDT to 1 a.m., so on November 5 the 1:30 a.m. run is repeated, as shown below:

For example: A trigger is defined for every Sunday at 2:30 a.m. On March 12, 2017, the time changes from 2 a.m. EST to 3 a.m. EST, so on March 12 the 2:30 a.m. run fires at 3:30. The following Sunday, and henceforth, it runs at 2:30 a.m., as shown below:

Sunday, March 05, 2017 02:30:00 EST -0500
Sunday, March 12, 2017 03:30:00 EDT -0400
Sunday, March 19, 2017 02:30:00 EDT -0400
Sunday, March 26, 2017 02:30:00 EDT -0400

When Time Moves Back

A Time trigger defined to run at a time that is being repeated due to the time change will not be repeated.

For example: A trigger is defined for every Sunday at 1:30 a.m. On November 5, 2017, the time changes from 2 a.m. EDT to 1 a.m. EST, so on November 5 the 1:30 a.m. run fires once, as shown below:

Sunday, October  29, 2017 01:30:00 EDT -0400
Sunday, November 05, 2017 01:30:00 EDT -0400
