| Time frame | Time frame defines a time window when Miradore clients are allowed to perform patch installation at the managed devices. Time frame format: hh:mm - hh:mm The time frame is allowed to span over midnight. For example, 21:00 - 07:00 means that patch installations are only allowed between 09 PM and 07 AM. |
| Use UTC time | This field defines whether or not Miradore clients use UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) in calculating the allowed time frame for security patch installations. If Use UTC time = No, then Miradore clients use devices' local time to calculate the time frame. |
| Start date(s) | In case of recurring schedule, this field is used to set one date when the schedule starts. Starting from that date, the schedule will be followed weekly or monthly as defined in the Schedule settings. In case of non-recurring schedule, this field can be used to define specific dates when the maintenance window is open, i.e. when Miradore clients are allowed to install security patches. Separate multiple dates with a comma. |
| Recurring | This field defines whether the schedule is recurring or not. A recurring schedule is repeated regularly as defined in the other fields. None means that the schedule is not recurring and that patch installations are only allowed on the date or dates defined in start date(s) field. After all the configured dates have passed, patch installations are no more allowed to happen on the target devices by the maintenance window item. |
| Recurs every | This field is available when Recurring = Weekly, and it defines the schedule recurrence interval in number of weeks. For example, field value "2" means that the schedule recurs every other week. |
| Recurs on | This field is available when Recurring = Monthly, and it defines the interval how often and when the patch maintenance window is open. For example, if you have chosen Monday to the "Weekdays" field, the field value "Second" would mean that the schedule recurs on the 2nd Monday of each month. Similarly, field value "Last" means that the schedule recurs on the last Monday of each month. |
| Weekdays | This field is used to select weekdays when recurring schedules occur. You may also use the "Recurs on" and "Recurs every" fields to define more accurately whether the schedule should recur on every occurrence of the selected weekday(s). |
| Months | This field is available when Recurring = Monthly, and it can be used to select the months when the schedule is wanted to recur. |
| Schedule | This field displays the calculated schedule for the Security patch maintenance window. |
| Next scheduled run date | The field displays the date when the maintenance window is next time active. |
