Bluebeam Tip: Optimize Project Efficiency with Custom Columns in Bluebeam Revu

Enhance your workflow in Bluebeam Revu by developing custom columns tailored to your specific project needs. Custom columns allow for advanced tracking and management of data within your PDFs, facilitating more effective communication and analysis.

• Identify Data Needs: Before creating a custom column, determine what specific data you need to track. This could include project status, material types, or any project-specific details.
• Create a Custom Column: Navigate to the Markups List and select the 'Columns' drop-down menu. Choose 'Manage Columns' and add a new custom column. Customize the name, data type (such as text, number, or date), and any relevant formulas.
• Utilize Formulas: Custom columns can include formulas to automate calculations, saving time and reducing errors. Use basic math operations or more complex functions to derive valuable insights from your data.
• Integrate with Existing Workflows: Custom columns can be integrated into your existing workflows. For example, they can be used in reports, filtered within the Markups List, or formatted for visual emphasis on plans.
• Collaboration and Sharing: When working in Bluebeam Studio or sharing PDFs, custom columns ensure all project participants have access to the same critical information, enhancing collaboration.
