Schedules and the object labels associated with them can be edited in the Schedule Specification dialog.
To open the Schedule Specification dialog for a schedule, either select the schedule and click the Open Object 
edit button or double- click the schedule itself using the Select Objects 
tool.
Columns to Include - Select the check box for each column you want to display in the schedule. At least one column must be checked to create a schedule.
Columns appear in the schedule in the same order as this list. Columns may be added or removed at any time by selecting the schedule, clicking the Open Object 
edit button, and selecting or clearing check boxes. Many of the columns described below are available only for some schedule types.
| The Number and Qty columns are unique in that they may be included on either or both ends of a schedule.
|
Number - Describes the sequence of this schedule entry. For example, the first window in the schedule is defined as W01, and the rest of the windows are labeled sequentially. This number may also be used as all or part of the objects label.
Label - This box is available for objects that can be labeled. A Label tab is included in the specification dialog for the object if this is the case. Check this box to include the label in the schedule.
Qty - Quantity of the items represented by the row. The quantity of an item is dependent on how much information about it is shown in the schedule. For example, if a schedule only lists Number, Quantity and Floor, all the windows on that floor display with the same schedule number, even though the windows might be different sizes and types. The schedule does not show enough information to distinguish them, although the labels in floor plan view might.
By including one more column, such as Size, the two windows above are separated by the schedule.
Be careful to have sufficient columns to distinguish the objects. A 3040 fixed glass window is not the same as a 3040 arch top window, but they may appear the same in the schedule if Description is not included.
Floor - Indicates the floor for each item in the schedule. This column is usually needed only if the check box for All Floors is selected.
Size - Shows the window or door size in feet-inches or millimeters, according to the format defined on the Label tab. A 3640 window is 3'6"x4'0", with the dimension order defined on the Label tab. Size does not state units of measurement; they are implied.
Dimension - Displays the dimension of the opening, including the units, in the format Width x Height. If Include Type is selected in the Label tab, the dimension is followed by letters describing the object type. Size and dimension are typically not used together, as they provide similar information.
Width - Lists the width of an item.
Depth - Lists the depth of an item.
Height - Lists the height of an item.
R/O - Lists the rough opening size.
Attached To - Indicates what an electrical object is attached to in electrical schedules.
Description - Shows the general description of the object. This is the same information as in the Item column of the Components dialog. It includes the type (double hung or ext., hinged), indicators such as "ct" (circle top) or "at" (arched top), and materials if specified in the object's Components dialog.
Drawer Pull - Lists the name of any attached drawer pull hardware.
Door Pull - Lists the name of any attached door pull hardware.
Hinge - Lists the name of any attached hinge.
Header - Shows the dimensions and quantity of header stock for each item.
Thickness - Displays the door thickness in door schedules only.
Code - Lists the value entered in the Code cell of the object's Components dialog.
Manufacturer - Lists manufacturer information, if added in the object's Components dialog.
Comments - Shows the information entered in the Comments column of the Components dialog.
Information in the Description, Code, Manufacturer, and Comments columns is edited in the Components dialogs for the obect. Some objects have several rows, but the schedule refers to only one. To find the correct row, look at the Description column. Often but not always, the first item in the ID column is the one the schedule refers to; for doors, this is D1, for windows, W1, for cabinets, C1, and so on.
In addition to the default columns, the Components dialog includes a column for each subcategory defined under the categories in the Preferences dialog. See "Categories Panel". Check any of these to create a column for that subcategory's information.
Objects to Include - Check the boxes for objects you want to include in the schedule. Multiple schedules can be created using these filters as desired. See "Text Tab For Other Objects".
Character Height -
Specify a height for text in the schedule.
To specify a printed text size, click the Scale... button to open the Printed Size Input dialog
Transparent Background - Check this box to make the schedule background transparent, allowing items behind the schedule to show through. If unchecked, the schedule has an opaque background that blocks everything behind it.
Don't Rotate With Plan - Select the check box to prevent the schedule from rotating when Tools> Rotate View... 
is selected.
Title - Enter a title for the schedule and select the Show Title check box to display the title at the top of the schedule.

In this case, the second column (following the first tab) starts 10 spaces in, the next at 20 spaces, etc. Default tab settings can be set in the schedule defaults. See "Schedule Defaults".
The Label tab of the Schedule Specification dialog controls the type, size and appearance of the labels that display in floor plan view.
Shape - There are six label shapes to choose from. The size of the shape is determined by the text it contains.
If a shape is selected and Show Labels is also selected, windows or doors show the shaped label, the schedule number, and nothing else. All other label options, except for Character Height and Initial Offset, have no effect.
If no shape is selected and Show Labels is also selected, window or door are labeled according to the format defined on this tab and the Label tab for the specific object.
Size - Select one of the three formats to use when showing opening size. This applies to doors and windows only and also affects the Size column of the door or window schedule.
