9. Click the Time field and use the calendar and time tabs to select the date and time of the status change, then click OK. You can set the current date and time to immediately change the machine's service status, or you can set a date and time in the future to schedule a future status change (if, for example, you want the machine to automatically update to a new status at the end of the day, first thing tomorrow, or at the end of the week or month).
