| Description | Defines the description of the revision. |
| Designer | Determines the author of the revision. |
| Date | Inserts the date when the revision row has been added. |
The Revision Table Templates are used to determine where and how the revision table is inserted into the drawing with the CUSTOMTOOLS Data feature. The revision table template determines also the column sizes used in the revision table.
