Locations give you the ability to link different Procore items (e.g., RFIs, Submittals, and more) to specific locations on a job site. This helps project team members to pinpoint the exact location(s) on a job site where a defect was observed, where materials are to be installed, or where a project change order occurred.
Typically, locations are created in a hierarchy based on your project.
Locations can be generated from drawings, imported, or manually created.
If locations are imported or manually created, Project Admins can allow users to create additional locations in other Procore tools, such as the Daily Log, Punch List, or RFIs. See Allow or Disallow Users to Create Locations within a Tool.
This list details the Procore tools and tasks that include a 'Locations' drop-down list that interacts with the project Admin tool's Locations Manager:
