Customized schedule with extra parameters

[mikeinsverige]

I have some questions about making a customised schedule, and this MEP scheduling post (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=119578)is the most similar thread I have found, the but discussion died out a year ago. (the following is describing Revit Arch 2011)

I am doing a schedule of a single door type. The headers on the X axis can include typical things like Lock, Closer, Frame Type, Fire Rating, etc. This is for a sheet to describe a single type of door (the sheet has elevations too) so there is only one row of data.

But, For each category (lock, closer, etc.) I not only want to list the parameter value (e.g. lock A), but also have some other parameters related to the first parameter (ie. lock). These would list who is responsible for the work relating to that category - Procuring, Installing, Painting, Inspecting. etc.

So, the schedule would show the type of lock, closer, etc. and also who installs, inspects, etc. the item. In a way, it is associating more information with a single parameter?
Any thoughts on this?

Key Schedules are what you're looking for.
In a nutshell, a Key Schedule will let you set up a Key (your lock code) that is linked to another list.

The Key Schedule for Locks would start with the Key and then call out the rest of the options:
LockType1, PaintColor1, ProcuredBy1, InstalledBy1
LockType2, PaintColor2, ProcuredBy1, InstalledBy2

In your main Opening Schedule, you would have all the parameters. When you pick LockType, all the rest would be filled out base on the type, and pull the values from the Key.

Hope that makes sense
