Schedules and custom tables

Structured tables your company has added for specialised data.

Some data doesn't fit standard fields — a laminate layup, a cure profile, a wire schedule, a PCB stackup, a weld map. Your administrator can add schedules: structured tables that appear on parts of a given category.

Using one

  1. Open a part in a category that has a schedule configured.
  2. Find it under the Additional tab.
  3. Add rows and fill the columns. Column types are fixed — number columns won't accept text, and choice columns offer a defined list.
  4. Rows are ordered; drag to reorder where sequence matters, such as a layup.

Computed columns and totals

Schedules can calculate. A layup table can total ply weight; a cure schedule can total cycle time. Computed columns are read-only and update as you edit the rows they depend on. In some configurations a schedule total feeds the part's estimated weight directly.

Nothing under Additional?

No schedule has been configured for that category yet. Administrators set them up centrally so everyone in a category gets the same columns.

Still stuck?

Email [email protected] and a person will pick it up. Include the part number and what you were doing — it saves a round trip.
