Create a schedule view when you want to easily see the parameters associated with the elements in your project. The columns or fields that make up the schedule are the parameters of the elements. When you set up a schedule view, you'll need to select the parameters that are important to you. On the View tab, select Schedules > Schedule/Quantities to begin making the schedule.

Next, pick the category for the schedule. This tells the schedule what model elements to look for in the project. In this example, we will make a room finish schedule, so the Rooms category is selected and the schedule is given a name. In the Schedule Properties dialog, on the Fields tab, you select the fields you want to appear in your schedule. A list of all available fields is shown on the left. This list contains all the possible parameters associated with the schedule category.

In this case, all of the parameters associated with the rooms category are listed. Select a field on the left and use the control to move it to the right. Fields moved to the right side of the dialog will be displayed in the schedule. The top-to-bottom order of the list indicates the left-to-right position in the schedule. Continue to add fields from the left column to the right column as needed. Use the Control or Shift keys to multi-select fields to move more than one at a time. To remove a field from the schedule, select it in the column on the right and use the control to move it back to the column on the left. You may also reorder the fields in the schedule by using the controls below the right column.

Once the fields have been selected and placed in the correct order, click OK to create the schedule.
