Hello @LeeKK,
Cron Expressions cannot have range limits in Minutes, hence we cannot have 1 cron expression for your requirement. That said you can split it up into two schedules as follows:
0 5 9-16 ? * MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI *
0 5,10,15,20,25,30 16-17 ? * MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI *
Hope this helps.
Kudos

As @Nithin_P mentioned, you would have to use two different cron expressions in order to facilitate the half hour; However, you can simplify the expression by dividing your minutes to create increments (i.e. */5)
Please have a read over Using Cron Expressions to see what is supported by the Quartz.Net framework used by UiPath.
This would produce
At 5 minutes past the hour, between 09:00 AM and 04:59 PM, only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
What you would want is 0 */5 9-16 ? * MON-FRI *
Every 5 minutes, between 09:00 AM and 04:59 PM, Monday through Friday
The second expression would be
At 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes past the hour, between 04:00 PM and 05:59 PM, only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
Which could be simplified to 0 0-30/5 16-17 ? * MON-FRI * translating to
Every 5 minutes, minutes 0 through 30 past the hour, between 04:00 PM and 05:59 PM, Monday through Friday
Hi @codemonkee,
Thanks for noticing that. I got the split right, but I missed the */ part.
Thanks,
Nithin
