Schedule Format Improvements

Achieve the data visualization you need! Expanded controls allow custom text, granular data display (e.g. in fields with merged data), and custom format/colors. Available for both Element Schedules and Project Indexes.

New Field Settings dialog to control field-level settings:

Displays the base property and lets you edit the header name directly

Set field color background

Format totals and grand totals: prefix, suffix, show units

Customize appearance of zero results and non-evaluable results

Add any custom text to empty cell

Access Field Settings (both Schedules and Indexes):

1.Select any cell in the schedule or index, then click “Field Settings..” button above the schedule or index

2.Select a header or the totals/grand total cell of any field (if present), and push the little Field button inside the cell

Note: Formerly, in Schedules this button opened the “data merge options” dialog where relevant.

Now, “data merge options” is included in the Field Settings dialog.

New Merge Option: separate a list of values into multiple lines

Improved and reliable align-to-decimal behavior

Hidden field improvements: no longer block graphical resizing columns/rows, double click will resize the previous column/field instead of un-hiding these fields (as in previous versions), and hidden fields no longer reopen due to automatic cell resizing, using wrap text or switching between records by rows/columns.
