4. In the Start time and End time fields, specify the start and end time of the maintenance period.
5. Select the Apply to child objects check box if you want to enable the maintenance mode on the object itself and its child objects.
6. In the Comment field, type additional information about the schedule. You can enter up to 512 characters in this field.

The new schedule will be automatically added to list.
