Edit Configurable Custom Fields
Objective
To edit configurable custom fields that have been created for tools in Procore.
Background
A configurable fieldset is a group of fields in certain Procore tools that can be set to optional, required, or hidden, depending on the needs of your company. This allows for better control over data entry when users create and edit items in Procore projects. See What are configurable fieldsets and which Procore tools support them?
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- 'Admin' level permissions on the Company level Admin tool.
- Additional Information:
- By default, configurable custom fields are only applied to new projects. However, you can select which projects to apply them to.
- Configurable custom fields applied to projects will be reflected on both Procore’s web and mobile applications.
- If you want to configure custom fields for specific tools, see What are configurable custom fields and which Procore tools support them?
