Will go back to task #133 first but will jot down my notes on I think may be appropriate fields for a table that will need to be added to the database as well as back-end endpoints to update maintenance messages.

Fields for a data table (to be vetted):

• Field name, data type, allowed fields (if applicable)
• id, string
• maintenanceType, string, minor/major
• status, string, active/disabled
• updatedAt, date
• updatedBy, email
• message, string

Example data:

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "maintenanceType": "minor",
        "status": "active",
        "updatedAt": "2024-03-26 21:34:17.304",
        "updatedBy": "[email protected]",
        "message": "Crossfeed has scheduled minor server maintenance on 3/28/2024 from 8:00AM to 5:00PM. Access to your Crossfeed settings will be limited. We apologize for the inconvenience. For further information, please reach out to [email protected]."
    },
    { 
        "id": 2,
        "maintenanceType": "major",
        "status": "disabled",
        "updatedAt": "2024-03-26 21:34:17.304",
        "updatedBy": "[email protected]",
        "message": "Crossfeed has scheduled major server maintenance from 3/28/2024 8:00AM to 3/29/2024 5:00PM. Access to Crossfeed will be disabled. We apologize for the inconvenience. For further information, please reach out to [email protected]."
    }

Designed a potential maintenance notifications interface. Need to know if this is going in the right direction, how many possible notifications there will be at a time, and what the exact fields to save should be.
