Building a Revision Schedule from the Top Down or Bottom Up

Revision schedules can display information in various ways. Some design firms use a top-down approach, with column headings and revision rows starting at the top of the schedule. Other design firms use a bottom-up approach, with column headings and revision rows starting at the bottom of the schedule. In either case, the revision schedule sorts the rows using the settings specified on the Sorting/Grouping tab of the Revision Properties dialog. (See Adding a Revision Schedule to a Custom Title Block.)
