Scheduling but not using Schedules

Good morning,
Now that we are scheduling our jobs, I am looking at all the other scheduling tools. I see under Production Management > Scheduling > Setup, there is a form called Schedule Maintenance. We don’t have any schedule codes listed in here and as far as I can tell we are not using it or intending to use it. Should we?

The help file says that we use this form to “update the descriptions and comments for what-if schedules”. I think this means that I can setup multiple what-if schedules, and use this tool to change their descriptions. This doesn’t sound terribly helpful. But we aren’t using what-if schedules just yet. Does any one use this? How do you use it? Do you have multiple what-if schedules that you consider? What are some examples of why you would have different what-if schedules?

What about Setup Group? Do you use that at all? Why/how?
