Below are notable changes for the Procore web application for the month of August 2024.
Core Tools
Admin
Updates to Creating Configurable Fieldsets
You can now use a single button to create configurable fieldsets for all field types for a Procore tool. See Create New Configurable Fieldsets and Create Project Fieldset.
Manage Compliance Templates for Procore Pay on new Procore Projects
Compliance Templates for Procore Pay are now available in the United States. Company Admins can now ensure their custom compliance templates are copied to new Procore projects at project creation. Using the standard project templates in Procore, Admins can assign compliance templates settings to multiple project templates, offering flexibility beyond a single default for all projects. Admins can also change the compliance template assignments on project templates as needed. For details, see What gets copied over to a new project when applying a project template? and About Compliance Templates with Procore Pay.
NEW locations experience
A new Locations experience is now in phased release and will gradually become available to all accounts over the coming weeks. This new experience is designed to leverage the latest AI technology to automatically create a tiered list of locations based on your project's architectural drawings. To learn more about the new Locations experience, see About Locations.
Project Management
RFIs
Modernised RFI configuration settings view
The RFIs Tool Configure Settings pages have been updated with a modernised, more intuitive layout. There is no change in behaviours or capabilities.
Submittals
Granular Permission to Apply Workflow Template
A new granular permission for Submittals to “Apply submittal workflow templates” is available in Project Permission Templates. This new granular permission provides customers with the flexibility to allow specific users to apply workflow templates without providing Admin level access to the Submittals tool. See What granular permissions are available for the project’s Submittals tool? for details.
INACTIVATE OR REMOVE DEFAULT SUBMITTAL TYPES
Company Admins can now inactivate or remove default submittal types, providing greater flexibility in managing submittals. This update helps reduce confusion and improve the accuracy of submittal categorization and reporting.
Financial Management
Payment Applications
Include Procore Pay Lien Waivers in Subcontractor Payment application Backups
Procore has updated the Project level Payment applications tool for payors using Procore Pay. Now, when compiling a subcontractor payment application backup, the system includes any first- and sub-tier lien waivers in the downloadable PDF backup file. This enhancement streamlines documentation, providing comprehensive proof of payment and supporting documents need to efficiently resolve non-payment disputes. See Compile Subcontractor Payment application Backups with the Payment Applications Tool.
Improved File Names for Subcontractor Payment application Backup PDFs
Whenever a user compiles a subcontractor payment application backup, Procore sends the user an email when the file is ready to download. Before this update, Procore always named the backup file "subcontractor_invoice_backup.pdf". To improve clarity and ease of identification, Procore now automatically appends the project name, project number, date and time of the compile in the file name. For an example, see Compile Subcontractor Payment application Backups with the Payment Applications Tool.
Improved Sorting in Subcontractor Payment application Backup PDFs
When compiling subcontractor payment application backups, Procore now sorts payment applications by 'Contract #' in ascending order. It also applies a secondary sort by 'Invoice Position' number. This improves the clarity and organisation of the payment applications included in the downloadable backup file. To learn more, see Compile Subcontractor Payment application Backups with the Payment Applications Tool.

Configurable Employee Field When Creating New Users (10/18/2023)
When creating a new user, you can update the 'Is Employee' field to indicate if the user is an employee of your company. By default, users are not marked as employees, making it easy to add collaborators. If you do not want to show this field, you can create or edit the configurable fieldset for the Directory to hide the field. Hiding the field also removes it from the user's detail page. Read the Announcement for more details.
New Fields when Creating a User (02/10/2023)
New fields have been added when creating a user in the Project and Company level Directories. You now need to select whether the user is an employee of your company and select the company the user belongs to. This will ensure better data accuracy in your directory. See Add a User Account to the Project Directory and Add a User Account to the Company Directory.
Merge Connected Companies (19/07/2023)

Assignable Default Project Permissions Templates (11/07/2023)
Assignable default project permissions templates are now available in the Company level Directory. This allows users with granular permission to 'Create and Edit Users (Based on Assignable Permissions Templates)' in the Company level Directory to assign other users selected Default Project Permissions Templates when adding or editing users. Previously only Directory Admins could do this task. Read more in the Announcement and see tutorials to Add User Accounts to the Company Directory and Edit Default Project Permissions in the Company Directory.

ERP Integrations (Company Level)
Direct Export for Commitments, Commitment Variations and Subcontractor Payment applications (21/07/2023)
Procore's ERP integrations now offer the ability to bypass the accounting approver step when exporting certain items to your ERP system. This feature, referred to as 'Direct Export', offers increased flexibility and can help you streamline approval processes. To learn more, see ERP Integrations: Direct Export Feature.
Standard item numbering upon export for commitments, Variations and payment applications (10/04/2023)
Procore's Company level ERP Integrations tool previously provided the option to change an item's number upon export to an integrated ERP system. The removal of this field eliminates the possibility for an item's number in Procore to differ from that item's number in an integrated ERP system, offering an improved auditing and reconciliation experience for accounting teams.
Unlink Subcontractor Payment applications Synced with ERP (12/04/2022)
When a Procore project's subcontractor payment applications are synced with a supported ERP Integration, a link is created between the records stored in each system. Sometimes, users will inadvertently export a subcontractor payment application from Procore and then discover that the subcontractor payment application's data was entered incorrectly. When this occurs, the link between the systems will first need to be deleted manually using the new Unlink button. Prior to this update, a user with 'Admin' level permission was required to send a email request to reset the subcontractor payment application then users had to wait for the request to be processed. Now, a user with the appropriate permissions can perform that step on their own.
For more information on a specific ERP integration see:

Reports (Company Level)
Enhanced Reporting for Workforce Management (10/04/2023)

You can now report on your workforce, production and Daywork data alongside your financial information in enhanced reporting to gain insights such as labour utilization and date range production.

Users with Company Admin permission can edit and delete any report to which they have been granted access or have the URL (13/03/2023)
This update will give Company Admins more control over their accounts by allowing them to edit or delete any report which has been shared with them or to which they have the report's URL.

Employee ID Column and Filter (10/10/2023)
Procore has added an Employee ID column and filter to Company level Timesheets. You can choose to show or hide the column. With the Employee ID field, you can more easily select the correct employee if there are employees with the same name. Additionally, you can filter by 'Employee ID' and select 'None' to identify if there are employees that need an employee ID added to match your payroll solution. See Customize the Column Display in the Company Level Timesheets Tool.
Improved Export for QuickBooks® 2022 and After (28/04/2023)
Procore has updated the export files for QuickBooks® Desktop to improve the experience for customers importing their time entries into an upgraded version of QuickBooks® Desktop.

Default Cost Types for Timecards and New Defaults for ERP Synced Projects (20/03/2023)

Correspondence (Project Level)
new Correspondence notification options for removing users and Editing ITEMs (12/09/2024)
To improve transparency and data integrity, the Correspondence tool has two new notification options: 1) "Item Updated" sends a notification to the user roles enabled in the Correspondence email matrix when an "Open" Correspondence item is edited and 2) "User Removed" sends a notification to the user removed from a correspondence item's "Assignee", "Distribution" or "Received From" fields if the particular user role associated to those fields has this notification enabled in the Correspondence email matrix. These features are available for all accounts via a project's Configure Settings. For email notification details, see Who receives correspondence item emails and push notifications?
Improvements to Item Layout, Loading icon and close date (05/09/2024)
The Correspondence tool has the following three improvements when viewing an item:
-
Fieldset layout: Correspondence items now display in a four-column layout instead of a three-column layout. This provides a consistent experience across Procore tools.
-
Loading spinner: Previously, when clicking either the ‘Save as Draft’ or ‘Create & Issue’ button, both of the buttons displayed a loading spinner, but now only the button that was clicked shows a loading spinner.
-
Item close date: When a Correspondence item is closed, the date now appears next to the ‘Status’ field on the item view page.
enhancements to custom statuses in Correspondence (25/06/2024)
Procore users have two new custom status mapping options for correspondence items: ‘Closed - Unsuccessful’ and ‘Closed - Successful’. Both options close an item, but 'Closed - Successful' results in a green status and 'Closed - Unsuccessful' in red to show that the issue was not approved or completed. Two separate categories for closed items allows for more detailed reporting.
In addition, users utilising the Workflows tool can now associate a Correspondence custom status to a workflow step’s Item Status. For example, custom statuses mapped to ‘Closed - Successful’ will be available for successful End Steps and custom statuses mapped to ‘Closed - Unsuccessful’ will be available for unsuccessful End Steps. This improves progress tracking by allowing more accuracy in associating statuses with workflow steps.
custom statuses used in Correspondence items and workflows cannot be deleted (25/06/2024)
To preserve data integrity, custom statuses that are used in a correspondence item or a correspondence workflow cannot be deleted. See Manage Custom Statuses for Correspondence Types.
Linking Items is Now separate from Correspondence Fieldset (17/06/2024)
The Correspondence tool has a new way of linking an origin correspondence and origin RFI to a correspondence item. Instead of of adding them while creating an item, Procore's new Link button helps users select the correct origin items. The origin items then show up in the Links section of the correspondence item. This centralises all linking and improves the user experience. See Link an Origin Correspondence Item or Origin RFI to an Existing Correspondence Item.
Creating and linking new correspondence, RFI or change events to a correspondence item still works the same and can also be accessed via the new Link button. See Create and Link an RFI, Change Event or a Different Correspondence Item to an Existing Correspondence Item.
'Closed' status prevents responses (03/05/2024)
Procore users can no longer add responses to correspondence items with a 'Closed' status or a custom status that is mapped to 'Closed'. This reduces the possibility of missed information.
Correspondence Tool included in Procore starter packs (22/04/2024)
The Correspondence tool is now part of Procore's Starter packs for new and existing customers! Correspondence starter pack customers can create 10 correspondence types from our pre-built templates. See Create a New Correspondence Type and reach out to your Procore point of contact to learn more.
Visual Updates to Correspondence Item Pages (10/08/2023)

Configurable Employee Field When Creating New Users (10/18/2023)
When creating a new user, you can update the 'Is Employee' field to indicate if the user is an employee of your company. By default, users are not marked as employees, making it easy to add collaborators. If you do not want to show this field, you can create or edit the configurable fieldset for the Directory to hide the field. Hiding the field also removes it from the user's detail page. Read the Announcement for more details.
New Fields when Creating a User (02/10/2023)
New fields have been added when creating a user in the Project and Company level Directories.
