# Smart Schedule

> Insert a live project schedule into your Smart Doc as a table that stays in sync with your data.

**Smart Schedule** inserts an existing project schedule onto a Smart Doc page as a table. The table stays connected to the schedule, so edits made in Schedules show up in your document automatically. Use it when you want a full schedule (all rows, selected columns) to appear inside a deliverable.

<Note>
  Smart Schedule was previously called "Smart Table." Both refer to the same feature.
</Note>

## When To Use Smart Schedule

* **Product list tables** in a submittal or spec section.
* **Summary schedules** on a cover page or appendix.
* **Bid or take-off tables** where you want the full row list, not one page per product.

If you want a full page per product instead of a table row per product, use a [Reference Binder](/help-center/working-on-projects/smart-docs-reference-binders).

## Inserting a Smart Schedule

1. Open a Smart Doc and select the page to place the table on.
2. In the left rail, open the **Smart Table** drawer.
3. Search or scroll to find the project schedule you want.
4. Click the schedule to insert it as a table on the active page.

The table drops onto the canvas at a default size and can be dragged, resized, and repositioned like any element.

## Configuring the Table

With the table selected, use the inspector on the right (**Schedule Properties Panel**) to:

* **Choose columns** to include or hide. Only columns you enable render in the table.
* **Reorder columns** to control display order in the document.
* **Set column widths** and text alignment.
* **Show or hide the header row.**
* **Filter or sort** the rows shown, without affecting the underlying schedule.
* **Style** the table (borders, header background, row shading, font size).

Changes here affect only the document, they don't change the schedule itself.

## Keeping in Sync

A Smart Schedule stays connected to its source schedule:

* Adding a product to the schedule adds a row to the table.
* Removing a product removes its row.
* Editing a field value in the schedule updates the value in the table.
* Renaming a field updates the column header.

You don't need to refresh, updates flow through automatically.

## Managing Smart Schedules on a Page

* A single page can hold multiple Smart Schedules (for example, two different schedules side by side).
* If a table has more rows than fit on one page, use pagination in the Schedule Properties Panel or split the table across pages manually.
* Delete a Smart Schedule from the canvas by selecting it and pressing delete. This removes it from the document; the underlying schedule is untouched.

## Smart Schedule vs. Smart Fields

|          | Smart Schedule                | Smart Fields                         |
| -------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Scope    | Full schedule as a table      | One value at a time                  |
| Best for | Product lists, summary tables | Titled callouts inside a page layout |
| Layout   | Table with rows and columns   | Free placement on the canvas         |

See [Smart Fields](/help-center/working-on-projects/smart-docs-smart-fields) for placing individual values on a page.
