What should the Cron time be so my Data Import plugin works correctly?

Does Data Import plugin really needs cron to be setup?
In general, Oxwall needs cron to be run for every second.

Yes, Cron is required for Data Export and Import. And the best time for running Cron is every minute.

Well, there are multiple ways. If you have Cpanel installed on your server, there should be a Cron Jobs/Scheduled Tasks tool that allows setting specific time interval for Cron commands.
Also you can access your server via SSH, type in the crontab -e command and edit your existing Cron command by adding a specific amount of asterisks before your Cron command. If you need Cron to be ran every minute, your command should look like the following one:
* * * * * wget http://yourwebsite.com/path/to/cron/run.php
Take some time reading about Cron Jobs at Google and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions, Jake.
