Hello,

I have added a blank row to my sheet index, these are for landscape and civil drawings. I would like to have a header title above each discipline in my sheet index schedule. How to do I do that? Thank you in advance.

Simply have a schedule for each discipline and use the schedule title then stack them one above another on your sheet.

We add a parameter to our sheet titled Discipline, then use the filter by that parameter and check the header box.

hanbyjm  Yours is the much better solution. 

I'm getting too old and too far away to remember that your solution is what we were doing too before I retired.

Hello,

Thank you for the help, but how do I get the name Civil, Landscape discipline inserted into the schedule and as the heading? Or rather where?

On the group sorting tab in the schedule, check the header box.  What ever Name you have in the parameter you use to sort is what will show up in the header.

Hi, thank you for the help. I created 2 new parameters as Discipline (text) and Discipline order (Integer). I ticked header under Discipline. I see the header appearing after every sheet. Not sure how to group the different disciplines and then have a header title, like in he image you attached. I think I am missing some crucial steps in the Discipline parameter that I created. Please advise. Thank you.

Do you have the "Itemize every instance" checked? I use the order parameter to get the disciplines in the order I want them to appear. We have our G sheets first so all those sheets get the #1 in that parameter box, then Civil sheets get #2 so the appear next, etc...  All the general sheets and the word "General" in the parameter box, all civil have the word "Civil", etc...
