Scheduling VRF system

I am trying to model and compare results with actual measurement from a commercial building with 4 VRF heat pump and 7 Thermal Zone. What is the best way of using the schedules:- Requirements:- The 4 outdoor units are set to VRF and operate only between morning 5:30 to evening 8 pm. My understanding 1. seven schedules on OS each for each zone with set temperature 74 and other times 100+(so that the system does not operate) or 2. 4 schedules for each systems and common for common zones.

I am using VRF systems and VRF terminal units. My system can only provide heating or cooling at a time not simultaneously. Are my selections ok? Also for creating new schedule I did could not select the type of schedule for such operation. What other schedules will be required for the full model i.e. 1. people 2. equipment 3. outdoor units 4. Terminal units 5. any other.
