M-Files Configuration Frequency Interval

Question

I am working on setting up something in my configuration that includes a RecurringOperationConfiguration 
 
 I have it working for schedule without any issue but when I try and lookup Interval it seems a bit vague and I don't really understand what the Time Value in the configuration is for. 
 
 It says it is configurable but I don't quite understand how to control the interval from the admin if it's giving me a Time Value. I've ready the following and haven't clued in on what I should be doing to allow the admin to decide what the interval should be/

 What do I need to do for the admin to be able to set something like run every 2 hours?

Hi, 
 The editor seems to render differently depending on... Something. Possibly your local PC settings. In a lot of systems it renders as a 24-hour clock (which then makes more sense as an interval), but when it renders as an AM/PM time it's awkward. 
 In your instance "every two hours" would be "2am". Every 14 hours would be "2pm". As I said: awkward. 
 This hasn't come up as a significant issue thus far, but I will raise it with the VAF/configuration-editor team at some point to see whether there's a way we can force it to always be in 24-hour mode. 
 Regards, 
 Craig.
