Temporary Properties for Schedules

[miguel_reyes_DT]

One great tool to add can be setting up temporary properties to Schedules, which can potentially give the ability to adjust (temporary) Filters, Sorting and Grouping, etc in schedules. Then turn that back off so the schedule reverts its original properties; similar than the "Enable temporary View Properties" and "Temporarily Apply Template Properties" commands currently in live model views. Even Drafting Views have that.

I create copies of the original schedule and delete it when I'm done with it or permanently have multiple copies for different purposes.

Thanks for your comment. Exactly, many of us do that. But this feature would reduce the clutter that potentially can happen when duplicating views/schedules.

Cheers,

I would also take the ability to have schedules have view settings in the editor and then separate settings on a sheet, so you can have a bunch of "working" parameters visible when editing a schedule without having turn them on/off before and after.

Anything to make schedules more easily workable.

I also create copies of the original schedule and then forget to delete it when I'm done with it thus permanently have multiple copies for purposes I do not remember. It is a brilliant work-around while we are waiting for this idea to be implemented.

I generally make schedules that are really just enhanced filters so ugly that nobody will accidentally try to layout and print them - a magenta background fill usually does the trick.
