Create a Default Project Custom Field

Objective

To configure which fields on the Create and Update project pages are required, optional or hidden.

Background

Users with 'Admin' permission to the Company level Admin tool can designate certain fields for project creation as Required, Optional or Hidden. This can be configured from the Fieldset tab in the Company level Admin tool, under Project Settings. See Which fields on the create or update project page can be configured as required, optional or hidden?

Things to Consider

• Required User Permissions:
  • 'Admin' level permissions on the Company level Admin tool.
• Additional Information:
  • Only one fieldset can be created per company for project fields.
  • The custom field will apply to all new and existing projects. It cannot be assigned to individual projects.
  • If you want to configure custom fields for specific tools, see What are configurable custom fields and which Procore tools support them?

Steps

1. Navigate to the Company level Admin tool.
2. Under 'Project Settings', click Custom Field.
   
   
    
3. Click Create New.
4. On the 'Edit Fieldset' page, each field name has the following options:
   • Click the toggle to the ON  position to make the field visible in the section.
     OR

     Note: A  icon indicates that the field is visible by default and cannot be changed to hidden.
   • Mark the 'Required' tickbox to designate the field as required.
     OR
     Clear the 'Required' tickbox to designate the field as optional.
     Notes:
     • Tickboxes only display for visible fields that can be configured as required or optional. 
     • A grey marked tickbox  indicates that the field is required by default and cannot be changed to optional.
5. Click Save.
