Michael,
   There are two ways that you could specify the schedule.

1. if you are fairly certain that you will not want to come back and 
change the total number of people then you can enter the number of 
people in the zone as the "value" of the schedule for each time period.

2. if you may want to change the total number of people later on then 
you can enter the fraction of the maximum number of people in the zone 
as the value of the schedule (a value between 0 and 1) and then you can 
use the multiplier in order to set the maximum number of people. Your 
schedule would be:

00:00 - 06:00 - value 0.5
06:00 - 10:00 - value 0.3
10:00 - 14:00 - value 0.2
14:00 - 18:00 - value 1.0
18:00 - 24:00 - value 0.5

and the multiplier would of course be 10.

Kind regards,
  David
