Bluebeam Tip: Creating and Utilizing Custom Columns in Bluebeam Revu's Markups List

Enhance your Bluebeam Revu experience with custom columns in the Markups List. Custom columns allow for a higher level of detail and tailored data management, making your workflow more efficient. Here’s how you can create and utilize custom columns:

1. Access the Markups List: Open your PDF file in Bluebeam Revu. Go to the bottom of the interface and click on the Markups List tab.
2. Open Columns Settings: Click on the Columns dropdown menu and select Manage Columns.
3. Add Custom Columns: In the Manage Columns dialog, click on the Custom Columns tab. Here, you can add new columns by clicking the Add button.
4. Define Column Properties: Name your column and select the type of data it will hold (e.g., Text, Number, Date). You can also set default values and formatting options.
5. Save and Apply: Once you’ve configured your custom columns, click OK to save. Your custom columns will now appear in the Markups List, ready for data entry.

Here are some examples of how custom columns can streamline your workflow:

• Project-Specific Data: Track project-specific information, such as phase, responsible party, or status, directly within the PDF.
• Improved Sorting and Filtering: Custom columns allow you to sort and filter markups based on your specific criteria, making it easier to manage and review documents.
• Enhanced Reporting: Generate reports that include your custom data, providing a comprehensive overview tailored to your project needs.
