Below is the so-called room schedule. This is not a Zone List as I believe I should be trying to use. I've not been able to modify any zone list much less be able to read them without really zooming in.
How do I link wall finishes (NSEW) to the zone settings? Basically, I don't have a clue. Where can I start to learn how to make a room schedule that notes: floor substrate/finish, base substrate/finish, wall substrate/finish (NSEW walls), ceiling substrate/finish/height, and remarks?
The last thing I want to do is create a schedule from my own computer-mind. I can see the information, I just can't extract it from AC...
Thanks Erika...
Attached is the Scheme Settings that I've been able to modify but it's all fakery. The schedule shown above is not what I want indicated. In the past I note the following: FLOOR substrate/finish, BASE substrate/finish, WALL substrate/finish for NESW walls, CEILING substrate/finish/height. Then I attach specifications regarding finish materials and execution.
I've gone to modifying an existing AC12 interactive door schedule and cannot get all the doors to relate to their room number. No amount of setting and resetting works. One door is a sliding door and the other is an overhead door. I've had problems with overhead doors in that I need to show glazing similar to a commercial OH door. But one thing at a time...

I've been using Archicad since 1993 and I still want to know how to do a finishes schedule 
. (and a decent door and window schedule for that matter).
Unless v13 is making a liar out of me schedules are hard work and you can never get what you want.
It would be simple if zones could apply a material to each surface (or a custom description, or inherit the bounding wall type) and all would be easy.
Why I'm on the zone rant why doesnt the height should expand to the height of the room like it expends to the room size.

Dave,
After spending 2 days trying to get it to work you must be ready to throw the monitor out the window!
Adding extra fields to display in a schedule is actually very simple. If I were you I'd start from scratch and gradually add in detail while you get the hang of it. Don't try to create a finished schedule yet, just have a play.
Open the schedule you want to adjust, then click the 'Scheme Settings' button in the top right corner. To find the extra information contained in zone stamp click the Additional Parameters (1) button at the bottom, then navigate to the zone stamp you are using (2), then add the required parameters from the long list available (3&4). Press Ok when done (5).
You can now change the order that the items will appear in the schedule by dragging the parameters by the little double arrow up and down the list (6). When you press Ok the schedule you have open should automatically update with the new fields, and hopefully display the data you have manually entered in!
That should get you started.
