 Description   

There is a name/description field currently to describe the whole maintenance period. However it would be useful to have a name/description field available for each individual period within it.

I have included an picture example of our holiday maintenance period and the individual periods with in it. In this case it would be useful to see a description for the public holidays and which term it is for example:

26th Jan 2015 - Australia Day
2nd March 2015 - Labour Day
3rd April 2015 (17d) - Term 1 Break
4th July 2015 (16d) - Term 2 Break

So maybe a field can be introduced before the "Period type" called "Period Name".

It will make it easier to manage maintenance periods with lots of individual periods within it.

This would also make sense for managed service environments. I have pre-defined maintenance periods for each customer/project just to have an convenient way of putting all related hosts in maintenance. However it doesn't make sense to create description "<customer> updates" because sometimes I use the same period for doing other maintenance on customer environment.
