Custom Maintenance Window

[Stanley Martin]

Have an application owner that would like to come up with some kind of Maintenance Window piece to their custom app.  They just need a start and end datetime.  They want a message to be displayed during the window and for that message to expire on the end datetime.

Would a triggered work flow once the new record is inserted and can that work flow monitor and when the end datetime rolls around, disable it?  There are OOTB maintenance windows but none that I've seen that use start and end datetimes.

Hi @Stanley Martin,

You can configure the announcement for maintenance window, system will display the message during the maintenance window.

Interesting.  Didn't know that existed obviously.  I'll give it a shot.

Not sure how I can make this work for a custom app where the client can submit their own for their app.

ServiceNow admin can configure that notification which will display on ServiceNow only.
