You can use the Run Limitation Options dictionary to apply exclusions to the frequency options you previously configured for Scheduled Updates. The same options are also available in the Forced Updates dictionary to allow you to limit when Zappl is permitted to prompt users to update any Apps that have been marked for forced updates.
A checkbox is available and by default ticked for each day of the week. If there is a particular day of the week you want to ensure update prompts are never displayed to the user, simply uncheck the box next to the day. This is useful when using the Specify Patch Frequency option, or when specifying a patch day with the Missed Update Prompts option checked.

If you have specified a weekly patch day, and that patch day is then unchecked in the run limitation options, the run limitation for that day will be ignored and the user will still be prompted to update on the configured patch day.

Each day also offers the option to define an allowed update time window. Selecting an allowed time window means that whenever Zappl runs outside of that window, update prompts will be skipped and Zappl will exit with no further action.
By default, the start time is 12.00am and the end time is 11.59pm, but you can easily change this on a per-day basis by modifying the values in the fields.
Example | Update prompts are only allowed between 9am and 5pm on Tuesdays.
If you want to define an exclusion time window, e.g., do not prompt between 2pm and 4pm but allow prompts for the rest of the day, simply reverse the timestamps as shown below:
