Schedule views can be saved as their own project file that can be loaded
into a project as needed, so it is not necessary to have every schedule that
you might use in your project template. The types of schedules you should
include are ones that you know will be in every project. If you are going
to create a schedule in your template, you must use parameters that are
available in the template file. The parameters will be available either
because they exist in components that are loaded into your template or
because they are set up as project parameters. This is most easily achieved
by using shared parameters because it is important that the parameters in
your content are the same as those in the schedule. Careful consideration
should be taken as to what parameters need to be in the template prior
to setting up a schedule. For more information on creating schedules, see
Chapter 7, “Schedules.” For more about creating and managing parameters,
see Chapter 6, “Parameters.”
Some types of schedules can be included in your template; this can be useful
for managing the project. Consider adding a View List schedule to your
template. This enables you to quickly see information about your views to
determinewhetheryouhavealltheviewsrequiredforaprojectorwhethera
view has not yet been placed onto a sheet. This also is a good way to change
the parameters of your views without having to locate them in the Project
Browser. Figure2.7 showsasmallsampleofaViewListscheduleasitwould

schedule, including any custom parameters that you create for views.

Other types of schedules you should consider for your template are those
that are used for quality assurance or analysis or schedule keys for applying
values to parameters. These other types of schedules are often Space
schedules, because spaces hold much of the analytical information. Even if
