	IsItemized	Indicates if the schedule displays each element on a separate row or combines multiple grouped elements onto the same row.
	IsKeySchedule	Indicates if the schedule is a key schedule.
	IsMaterialTakeoff	Indicates if the schedule is a material takeoff.
	IsValidObject	Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
	ShowGrandTotal	Indicates if a grand total row should be displayed at the bottom of the schedule.
	ShowGrandTotalCount	Indicates if the grand total row should display a count of elements in the schedule.
	ShowGrandTotalTitle	Indicates if the grand total row should display a title.
	ShowGridLines	Indicates if the schedule grid lines will be visible on a sheet.
	ShowHeaders	Indicates if the headers will be displayed in the schedule.
	ShowTitle	Indicates if the title will be displayed in the schedule.

Remarks

The ScheduleDefinition class contains various settings that define the contents of a schedule view, including:

The schedule's category and other basic properties that determine the type of schedule.
A set of fields that become the columns of the schedule.
Filters that restrict the set of elements visible in the schedule.
Sorting and grouping criteria.

Most schedules contain a single ScheduleDefinition. In Revit MEP, schedules of certain categories can contain an "embedded schedule" containing elements associated with the elements in the primary schedule, for example a room schedule showing the elements inside each room or a duct system schedule showing the elements associated with each system. An embedded schedule has its own category, fields, filters, etc. Those settings are stored in a second ScheduleDefinition object.
