There are several variables that you can use to populate the grace period message displayed to users before a software title is updated.

To use a grace period variable, enter the variable into the Message field on the User Interaction tab when creating a patch policy in Jamf Pro. When the patch policy is run on a computer, the variable is replaced with the value of the corresponding attribute in Jamf Pro.
