Scheduled Blueprint apply — push updates during off-hours
We manage a fleet of customer-facing kiosk devices across multiple retail locations. Pushing Blueprint updates — app upgrades, policy changes, OS updates — during business hours causes visible disruption to customers using the kiosks. We currently have someone stay late to manually apply Blueprints after close, which isn't sustainable.
What we're asking for
The ability to schedule a Blueprint apply for a specific date, time, and timezone directly from the console. For example: "Apply this Blueprint to Group X at 2:00 AM on Tuesday."
Ideally this would include:
- A date/time/timezone picker on the Blueprint apply dialog
- Optional recurrence (weekly, for regular maintenance windows)
- A notification or event log entry when the scheduled apply completes — or fails
- The ability to cancel a scheduled apply before it runs
Why it matters
This is standard in enterprise MDM platforms. Maintenance windows are a baseline expectation for any large fleet operator, especially in retail, healthcare, and logistics where devices are customer-facing. Without it, every update requires manual coordination and off-hours work.
If others need this, please vote — it would be a significant quality-of-life improvement for anyone managing a production kiosk or POS fleet.
