Key Schedule in Project Browser

Key Schedule in Project Browser

Currently Revit doesn't have the capability to signify the difference between a schedule, key schedule, note block, etc within the Project Browser.  Everything is grouped under the non-descriptive heading of "Schedule."  I propose to update the project browser to read the view type and add a more descriptive title to the different view types that are currently grouped under schedules.  IE: "Key Schedule: XXXX" of "Note Block: XXXX"  

 

This especially becomes an issue when trying to determine if a schedule is scheduling actual building components or scheduling keys for those building components.  More so if you were not the creator of the project and are troubleshooting how an user set up the various schedules within the project.  Each type right now is just labeled "Schedule."  The only true way to tell is to get into the view and see if you can insert a data row into the schedule, thereby confirming it's scheduling keys and not building components.

 

I realize that a user should be able to understand by the information in the schedule if a schedule is scheduling keys or not, but it would provide more clarity if the view type in the project browser was actually descriptive of the view.  IE  "Key Schedule: XXXX" or "Note Block: XXXX" instead of the generic "Schedule: XXXX".  This would even allow us to group the views better within the project browser for those of us with organizational OCD Smiley Happy

Have a look at revit 2018.1 The biggest new feature was sorting schedules as you describe.

Well I feel like a dummy.  Thanks Pieter.  That's exactly what I wanted, and had no idea that Schedules could be filtered and sorted in 2018.

It was one of the highest voted ideas on this platform actually. It's definitely worth to scroll through the first few pages of the top voted ideas. Lots of interesting stuff there that you might want to consider voting for.
