# Create a change schedule from the Change Schedules page

You can create a change schedule to view all scheduled changes, change tasks, blackout periods, and maintenance windows for any given date, week, month, or year.

## Before you begin

-   The Change Management - Change Schedule plugin \(com.snc.change\_management.soc\) must be active.
-   Role required: itil, sn\_chg\_soc.change\_soc\_admin, sn\_change\_role, sn\_change\_write, or admin

**Note:**

-   A user with the itil role can create a change schedule definition and view the change schedule definitions that they create.
-   An admin or a change schedule administrator can read or edit all change schedule definitions.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Change** > **Schedules** > **Change Schedules** and select **New**.

2.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    |Field|Description|
    |-----|-----------|
    |Name|Name of the change schedule.|
    |Start date field|Field from the change request form that indicates the start date, for example, **Planned start date**.|
