VPP Application Upgrade Timing

What

As a FileWave administrator, I want more control over when VPP applications receive updates so that they happen after work or school hours.  In the past, this was not possible.

When/Why

You can now pick Never, Always or Scheduled for VPP application update settings in FileWave 14.6+

How

As shown in the below image you can go in the Web Admin to Sources and then change the VPP update settings to either NeverScheduled, or Always. If you pick Scheduled then you will have the option of Weekend, Non-Business Hours, or Non-Business Hours and Weekend. The days and times shown are from the client's time zone. 

Starting in FileWave 16.3.x, supported DDM-installed apps can also be controlled per Fileset from the Application update (DDM) setting in the app Fileset Details tab. When that setting is left on Follow Store Settings, the timing configured here still applies. If it is set to Always On, Always Off, or Pin specific version, that app follows the per-Fileset DDM behavior instead.
