Set up automatic updates and patches

With the Automatic patching and Automatic update options, you can specify on which days and at which times your system carries out updates automatically. This ensures that your system is always up to date.

1

Go to Administration → Updates.

2

Configure automatic patches:

  • Select the days (e.g. Mondays and Wednesdays) on which a patch may be carried out.
  • Enter the time period (e.g. 6 – 8 p.m.) during which the patch may be installed.
  • Decide how many hours in advance you want to check whether new patches are available (e.g. 2 hours – this means that the check takes place at 4 pm).
