#### Status

The maintenance status is indicated by the word “Status“ and can be one of three values:

* **Active:** indicates that the maintenance is currently applied.
* **Approaching:** indicates that maintenance is planned to start in the future.
* **Expired:** indicates that the planned maintenance time has already passed.
  * **Note: Expired maintenances may be deleted as part of an internal clean-up.**

#### Read Only

A read-only maintenance is a specialized type of maintenance that is internally created and cannot be modified from the Menu.  <br />
This type of maintenance is often used for routine maintenances.

#### Extensions

Extensions provide additional information about the applied maintenance period and can be used as metadata

#### Hosts

Hosts are the devices where the maintenance will be applied. The number in the column indicates the total number of devices that are part of the maintenance group.

#### Actions

Actions are available for non-read-only maintenance periods and allow users to perform certain tasks, such as deleting the maintenance period.
