Maintenance Window Start Date Field

The Start Date field indicates the day you want the specific scheduled item to start. In the case of recurring schedules that cannot occur on the specified start date, due to other criteria established within the scheduled items, the next following valid start date will be automatically populated, with no calculation required on your part, as the first Upcoming Scheduled Event.

For example: If you select a start date of 1/1/2016 and later specify in your recurrence that you'd like the recurrence to run weekly on Sundays, the actual first scheduled event would not be on 1/1/2016 (since it was a Friday), but 1/3/2016, since it's the first valid date, that matches the rest of the recurrence pattern you've established, after the date you've entered in the Start Date field.
