What are configurable fieldsets and which Procore tools support them?

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. To configure fieldsets, you must have 'Admin' permissions to the Company Admin tool.

Notes:

  5. In the 'Create Fieldset' window, enter a name for the fieldset and click Create.

    • Click the toggle to the ON icon-toggle-on.png position to make the field visible in the section.
      OR
      Click the toggle to the OFF icon-toggle-off.png position to hide the field in the section.
      Note: A icon-toggle-on2.png 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:
      • Fields without a tickbox are optional by default and cannot be changed to required.
      • A grey marked tickbox icon-checkbox-marked-grayed-out.png indicates that the field is required by default and cannot be changed to optional.
  7. Click Save.
  8. In the 'Apply changes to [#] project(s)?' window, click Assign Projects to add the fieldset to projects.
    • In the 'Assign Projects' window, mark the tickbox next to each project you want to apply the fieldset to and click Update.
    • In the 'Apply changes to [#] project(s)?' window, click Confirm.
  9. Optional: To set a fieldset as the default for new projects, click the icon-ellipsis-options-menu.png icon at the end of its row on the 'Fieldsets' tab and select Set as New Project Default.
     Note
    Projects created from a project template that includes fieldsets will inherit the fieldsets from the project template instead of your company's default fieldsets. See Configure a Project Template.
