Schedule Keys for Sheets

[BethEvanoo]

I'd like to be able to create schedule keys for sheets. Since we have so little power over sheet order, we have to create parameters to control where a sheet ends up in the sheet list. For us this actually becomes four parameters.

1.) Controls discipline grouping (01_General, 05_Civil, 08_Architectural, etc.)

2.) Controls the discipline heading which appears on the sheet list (GENERAL, CIVIL, ARCHITECTURAL, etc.)

3.) Controls sorting within disciplines (08.0_ARCH_GEN, 08.1_ARCH_DEMO, 08.2_ARCH_SITE, etc.)

4.) Controls browser sorting by design phase (01_SD, 02_CD, 03_ASI). 

If I could make schedule keys for sheets, I could make the third parameter control the other three, eliminating a lot of duplicated work.

Brilliant idea. I think I must have a very similar parameter structure to organize sheets, and I find maintaining it overly tedious. This would simplify it greatly, eliminating mistakes and saving time to do a simple task.

I agree.  I currently am using a 3rd party software plug-in work around to accomplish this, but if it was able to be built-into Revit then our Projects and time would be better utilized.

I fully agree with this idea! Being able to manage sheets with key schedules would be a huge boon to revit's clunky sheet mechanics.

I agree, this is needed. We've organized our sheets by a project phase text parameter. A key could control the phase for sorting, and a text value for printing in the titleblock etc.

The Key Schedules for Views would be also a must.

This is a great idea!  I voted for it and wish I could vote more.  Here's another great idea in the realm of things that should have key schedule capabilities: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/project-information-key-schedule/idi-p/11281058

Thank you!

If Revit won't take it upon themselves to create a better sheet management interface, at least allow us to use parameters and key schedules to do it ourselves. Sometimes I feel like a slave to the horrible Revit programming and seemingly arbitrary limits they put on certain features
