Title Block and Project Information Management

Question

I've been looking at getting the best way to manage our title blocks within a plan set (page numbers, initials, etc) as well as some miscellaneous project data that appears thought the plan set (project numbers, client name, etc.). I'm curious as to what others are using and what kind of success they are having. I've looked at setting some WorkSet properties for some information and have also looked briefly at Item Types, but can't quite land on the best route. 
 
 Any recommendations?

You might like to look at the options available to you with ProjectWise Tile Block Integration.

 There is also the Sheet Index system in the latest versions of MicroStation CONNECT Edition that you could have a look at.

Hi Ken, 
 
 These links should help:

 Naturally, best to tailor the process to how you want to work - more lookup table automation based or dgn property based, etc. but some versatility there. Unfortunately not as much documentation on this as we would like.
