Edit a Fieldset for a Correspondence Type in the Correspondence Tool

Objective

To edit a configurable fieldset for a correspondence type in the Correspondence tool.

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.

Things to Consider

Required User Permissions:
- 'Admin' on the Company level Admin tool.
Additional Information:
- By default, configurable fieldsets are only applied to new projects. However, you can apply fieldsets to specific projects.
- Configurable fieldsets applied to projects will be reflected on both Procore’s web and mobile applications.
- If you want to configure fieldsets for specific tools, see What are configurable fieldsets and which Procore tools support them?
