Using Schedules for Project Management
You can apply the scheduling capabilities of Revit to other areas of your
project to facilitate project management and organize construction
documents. You can even use schedules as a way to coordinate plan notes
and ensure coordination between notes and their callouts.
Sheet List
Another type of schedule available on the Schedules button is a Sheet List
schedule. A
Sheet List schedule
is built with the same tools as a model
component schedule, but all the parameters are related to sheets. Creating
a Sheet List schedule is useful for managing your project documentation
because the schedule allows you to track what sheets have been created,

you can use a Sheet List schedule. Using a Sheet List schedule ensures that
all the sheets created in your project are listed. Some submittals do not
require all sheets to be submitted, so a custom parameter that allows you to

sheet list.
As with most schedules that appear on construction documents, it is a good
practice to have two Sheet List schedules in your project: one that has all
the parameters that you need for tracking and making changes and another
that is actually included in your construction documents. This keeps you
from having to hide and unhide columns when working in the schedule
view.
Figure 7.40
shows a Sheet List schedule with a parameter for whether
a sheet is submitted and, on the bottom, the corresponding Sheet List
schedule that appears in the construction documents. The schedule on the
bottom is filtered by the Submitted parameter so that only sheets that are
selected appear in the list.
