Click on the Set update management option, then you will see a modal.

  • Fill the version limit by entering the desired application version for installation on your device.
    or / and
  • Enter a cron expression to specify when the update should occur.

Where can you set it? - 2.0 UI​

Navigate yourself to Devices menu, select the device where you wish to set scheduled update time and update version.

  • In the details tab, select settings, scroll down until you find the Advanced controls modal.
  • Select Update management

Here you will see the current application version and the current version limit (if available).

  • Fill the version limit by entering the desired application version for installation on your device.
    or / and
  • Select the update period
  • Default means, the device will update after the new version is available on the server
  • Never means the device will no longer update to the new version
  • Scheduled means you have to enter a cron expression to define when the update should happen.

Version limit​

Here you can enter a Version limit, to define the last version to update.

Note

If you set a version upper limit in the legacy modal (Set update version limit),
the version number will appear in the Version limit field of Update management modal and the value of the Version upper limit field will be set to default.

Cron expression​

To schedule this you have to enter a valid Cron expression to the modal.

You can create cron expressions here.
