  1. Check whether the current System requirements are met.
  2. Set the required Antivirus exceptions.
  3. Check whether the last data backup was successfully performed no more than two days ago. If not, carry out a data backup.

     Caution: Select a time that is outside business hours and after the data backup. The logged-in users are automatically logged out of the system after a notification and a short response time.
     Note: If the update job is performed after the data backup by default, tick the box "Do not perform an additional data backup, this has already been performed elsewhere".
  10.  Activate the job in the top left-hand corner of the input window.
  11.  Save your input by clicking on the icon in the top left-hand corner of the input window.
