    You can do that with a Custom Date column.
    No need for JavaScripting.

    If you’ve uploaded to a Studio Project, there is an ‘offline mode’.
    You can do your markups like normal, and when you do get a stable internet connection, your markups will upload.

    The stylus is just another input device, it should work fine

    We keep ours on SharePoint.

    You can actually use it like a Studio Project if you open your files through the DMS toolbar. It opens with the same ‘check out’ feature.

    Be careful working on SharePoint and opening files through File Explorer. Two people can have the same document open at the same time because of the way Windows opens it. If the second person saves it, it will override your markups.

    Sets and Studio Projects are, in a word, complicated.

    @lizlarsen is probably your go to person on this

    Your File Names are different.
    In the Excel file you selected 12&13(one half)
    in Revu you selected 12&13 Pair

    I think the default path is buried in the code, so good luck finding it.
    Maybe something in the Administrator Portal?

    Hi Rob

    Without knowing a bit more it would be hard to answer.
    Did you do anything more than have it link to a specific tool?
    i.e. a floor, space, etc?

    Hi Margaret

    Unfortunately, you cannot copy/ paste a sequence.

    Oh you want to display it on a page?

    I’m not sure that’s really possible without JavaScript.
    Might be possible within a Stamp however.

    Sets are nothing more than a collection of individual pages.
    I find working this way on the cloud to be much easier and faster than dealing with an entire 200 page document.
    A quick cheat for working with Individual pages is to only open your Drawing Index. Then you can open the other pages via the hyperlinks.
    So you get all the benefits of a Set, without actually USING a Set.

    The problem comes when you need to break it down beyond a simple quantity.
    When you need it by floor, phase, building, room, elevation…. quantity link is simply too difficult to set up.
    Building the custom columns for Finish Carpentry is time consuming, but relatively easy. Linking all of that to Excel, that’s where its a PITA.

    You’re right though, you can set it up so that you’re getting lots of data from just one or two markups.

    reusing the query is easy David.
    There are a few ways to do it actually.

    One I talk about in my presentation
