(Beta) Project Financials: Modernised Experience for the Head Contracts Tool

To provide you with a modernised interface and optimizations to improve your ability to create and manage contracts more efficiently, Procore will start releasing a modernised version of a new Head Contracts experience. The modernised experience will gradually be made available over the coming weeks to companies using Procore's Project Financials tools. Users will be permitted to exit out of the modernised experience and return to the legacy experience until approximately Q3 2022. At that time the legacy experience will be removed and users will be required to use the new experience.  You will be able provide Procore with your feedback about the modernised experience. 

The modernised experience also lays the groundwork for additional enhancements to the Head Contracts tool in the future. For this release, the updates include:

  • A new experience for creating, editing and viewing a head contract. Procore has redesigned the Head Contracts tool's user interface to make it easier to create, edit and view a head contract and its Schedule of Values (SOV)  A new card layout improves how information is organised and allows you to create and edit contracts more efficiently. You can also expand and collapse sections. The SOV has been moved from its own tab to the General tab and you can choose to update it in wide-screen mode or using the more convenient, narrow-screen view. Procore has also redesigned the attachment controls, to allow you to upload documents from your computer or network and to attach items from other Procore tools.
  • Updated tabbed pages on head contracts. Procore has also updated the Variations, Progress Claims, Change History, Financial Markup and Advanced Settings tabs on head contracts.
  • Compatible with the new custom fields and configurable fieldsets release. The new beta experience is designed to work with Procore's recent custom fields and configurable fieldsets release. To see a list of fields that are now configurable with the Head Contracts tool, see Which fields in the Head Contracts tool can be configured as required, optional or hidden?

The new beta experience will be available to all Procore customers who have purchased Procore's Project Financials tools. This includes companies that are using one of Procore's integrated ERP systems.
