Before granting your downstream collaborators permission to submit subcontractor progress claims for their commitments on a Procore project, your company's Procore Administrator and project teams should decide if it is the best choice for your company. Questions to ask include:
Don't want your downstream collaborators submitting progress claims in Procore? If your team prefers to collect paper or digital progress claims from downstream collaborators outside of Procore, simply provide one or more project team member(s) with the required user permissions so they can Create a Subcontractor Progress Claim on Behalf of a Progress Claim Contact.
To help your team decide who can submit progress claims in your Procore projects, review the information in this table.
