# Dynamic Legend

**Legends tool (previously known as Dynamic Legend)** allows you to **quickly create, modify and update Legends (also specification tables or other data sets**) for all Revit category elements.

This approach can be preferred over using Revit Schedules because tables can be generated in **any needed style** and can **contain images, Legends Components**, and even **dimensions**.&#x20;

### Features

* Automatically create Legends with needed parameters and images/Legend Components.
* Generate Legend tables for linked elements.
* Update Legends in one click when changes occur.
* Have multiple views of the same element from different directions.
* Split Legends into smaller pages by specified values.
* Create tables in vertical or horizontal directions.
* Create tables in a preferred style.
* Group and sort parameter values to be shown in Legends.
