Here are some of the things I am thinking. Right now we just came up with a list that things need to be on each drawing. I was thinking of a way a user types in a command, up pops a box with the items that need to be on that sheet. The user can check box or what ever to say that the item is on the sheet.
Maybe I can create an invisible attributed block that can have the list and store the check boxes of what is currently done in the drawing.
As the user saves the file it can be opened by someone else to see where the previous user left off.
I get the table idea. User will need to zoom to table and copy the (X) down. But the user will need to remember and not to delete the table accidently.
I get the excel link table, but I do not think with that type of lag in each drawing is smart.
Still thinking...
