Specify the timeout value.
This change in timeout value only applies to the selected stage. If you specify a timeout value
for this stage, set its value to be long enough to accommodate updating all of the devices in the
stage.
When the timeout value is reached, the stage’s deployment stops and an e-mail message is sent,
if e-mail notification is configured. You can cancel the deployment, or you can clear the error to
restart the stage and reset the timeout. Or, you can ignore all pending devices to trigger a stage
progression (either automatic, or wait for administrator action based on the setting).
