Extracts one field from schedule period information.

Exercise steps

1. Choose a different field in Inspector.
2. Observe how the active output and its type change; the connected input keeps its structured value.

Start lesson

Use the schedule's actual period

Connect Schedule Trigger: Period to Period Field. Select Start or End when a downstream decision needs a boundary timestamp, Frequency when it needs the cadence, or Index and Label for identification. For a weekly Monday activation, the period describes the resolver's actual scheduled window; do not reconstruct its end by adding seven times 24 hours to a display date. Inspect the run's time reference and the extracted timestamps, particularly around market sessions or daylight-saving changes. This node provides data only; Schedule Trigger remains the control activation.

Common problems

Connect period information from the schedule context. Timezone and schedule configuration affect its meaning.
