Set the Update Time Window for Your Business Central Environment
As a Boltrics customer, you can define the time window during which Boltrics and Microsoft are allowed to apply updates to your Business Central environment. This helps ensure updates occur outside of your core business hours and minimizes operational disruptions.
The update time window is configured in the Business Central Admin Center. You can define:
- Time zone
- Start time
- End time
(The window must be at least 6 hours long.)
This setting applies to all Microsoft platform updates and Boltrics updates. It will also be visible in the Boltrics customer list and related update tasks.
