Prepare Submittals for Import to the Procore Imports App

Submittal Package Information

For submittals you want in a package, include the following information:

• Package Title
  To create a submittal in a package, enter the package title here exactly as it appears in the Submittals tool. To include multiple submittals in a package, repeat the package title entry in each submittal entry.
• Package Spec Section Number
  Enter the spec section number for the submittal package exactly as it appears in the Specifications or Admin tool. 
  Note: If the Microsoft Excel column does NOT permit you to add a leading zero, select the entire column, choose Format > Cells and then create a 'Custom' Number Format that matches your spec section numbering convention in the Number tab. See Create or Delete a Custom Number Format in Excel.
• Package Spec Section Description
  Enter the spec section description exactly as it appears in the Specifications tool.
• Package Number
  Enter the submittal package number exactly as it appears in the Submittals tool. Duplicate package numbers are allowed and the value entered in this field must be less than 255 characters. 

Submittal Information

For individual submittals, include the following information:

• Submittal Title
  Enter a submittal title. You can enter the same title for multiple submittals. To create the submittal in a package, the row must contain data in the Package Title and Package Number columns.
• Submittal Spec Section Number
  Enter the spec section number for the submittal exactly as it appears in the Specifications or Admin tool. 
  Note: If you are creating the submittal in a new or existing submittal package and you entered data in the Package Spec Section Number column, the Submittal Spec Section Number is a required column.
  Important! The spec section number must be entered exactly as it is listed in Procore or the import will fail.
• Submittal Spec Section Description
  Enter the spec section description for the submittal. This is an open text field.
  Note: If the Spec Section Number that you entered in the previous column exactly matches an existing Spec Section in the project's Specifications tool, the Spec Section Description that is present in the Specifications tool will take precedence over your entry in this worksheet.
• Submittal Number*
  Enter the submittal number. Duplicate numbers are permitted (i.e., more than one submittal can have the same number). This is a required field.
  Note: Do not include revision numbers.
• Description
  Enter a description for the submittal. This is an open text site. Duplicate submittal descriptions are permitted (i.e., more than one submittal can have the same description).
• Submittal Manager*
  Enter the email address for the Procore user you want to designate as the submittal's Submittal Manager. In Procore, a submittal manager is the person responsible for overseeing a submittal throughout its lifecycle.
  Note: Users added to this row need to be already added to the Project Directory with 'Standard' level permissions or higher on the project's Submittals tool. See Add a User Account to the Project Directory.
  Important! The email address must be entered exactly as it is listed in Procore or the import will fail.

• Location
  Enter the location at the worksite for the submittal. This can be an existing location from the Location list or a tiered location. See Add Tiered Locations to a Project.
  Important! If your project is using multi-tiered locations, you must enter the location exactly as it appears in Procore and separate each tier with the greater than (>) symbol. Do NOT use spaces between tiers on either side of the greater than (>) symbol. For example, a correct two-tier location entry might look like: Lot 1>Section A.
• Received Date
  Enter the date the submittal was received using the date format MM/DD/YYYY.
  Important! If you enter dates in another format such as M/D/YYYY, the import will fail.

For Submittal Program Calculations, do the following:

• If the Submittal Program Calculations feature is disabled (this is the default setting), leave columns R, S, T and U columns blank.

  OR
