What are Procore's standard budget views?

Answer

In Procore, a budget view is a visual layout for your budget data. Using Procore's budget view feature in the Company Admin tool (see Set up a New Budget View), you can create customised views of your construction project's budget. You can also use one of the default budget view templates that are available by default. 

Procore Standard Budget View

All Procore company accounts include the 'Procore Standard Budget' view, which is the default view that is available for use with the project's Budget tool. This view can also be customised as described in Set up a New Budget View
