5. Select the frequency for the maintenance window.
   • To allow the Canvas to update at any time, select "When an update is available".
   • To allow the Canvas to update at a specific time every day, select "Daily".
   • To allow the Canvas to update at a specific time on certain days of the week, select "Weekly". Click on the days that the Canvas should be permitted to update.
   • To allow the Canvas to update at a specific time only on a specific day of the month, select "Monthly". Use the dropdown to select which day of the month the Canvas can update on.

   NOTE: The Canvas will only update between the hours defined by the start and end times. If the maintenance schedule was defined as "When an update is available", the Canvas will update whenever it receives new firmware.
