somewhat unclear documentation regarding the checkbox

[fuzzyami]

hey folks. I'm very new to jenkins. it took me ~2 hours of trial and error before I managed to get the 'build with parameters' checkbox to appear.

The crux here is this: the documentation says "After you save your project with some parameters" - which I interpreted entirely wrong. I thought I was supposed to put the parameters in the cron expression (which failed with an annoying, misleading error), when in fact it means to put the params in the project build section ( the 'General' section), and only THEN does the checkbox appears. I strongly suggest you beef up that line to specifically say where the params should be added. thx!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you were able to decipher the documentation. You're right, it could be better! As always pull requests help. I recommend that you fork https://github.com/jenkinsci/parameterized-scheduler-plugin , Those guys/gals are the ones that took this plugin I started to the jenkins plugin registry.
