The Formatting
tab allows you to
change unit formats
and specify fields in
which you need to
calculate totals.

You can also select it when you want to use a field as the header of a group of elements in a
schedule. For example, you may include the Family and Type fields, but you want only the
family listed as a grouping header because you don’t need to show the family name repeat-
edly in every row of your schedule.
Select the Level field and then activate the Hidden Field option. Select the Area field, set the
Alignment to Right, and then activate the Calculate Totals option.
Appearance The Appearance tab (Figure 17.18) controls the graphical aspects of the schedule,
such as font size and style of text for each of the columns and headers in the schedule. It also
allows you to turn the schedule grid lines on and off and modify the line thickness for the grid
and boundary lines. For revision schedules, you can also specify whether the schedule reads
from top to bottom or from bottom to top.
