Create Custom Fields for the Daywork Sheets Tool

Procore has updated the Company level Admin tool to give you the ability to create custom fields for the Daywork Sheets tool. Creating new custom fields is helpful when your company wants to track extra details related to the Daywork Sheets created in the field.

Example

Some examples of how you can use custom fields to meet your business requirements include:

  • To provide your site team with a way to indicate that work on the sheet is complete, you can add a custom ‘Checkbox’ field to the General Information section on your Daywork Sheets.
  • To provide your Foreman with the ability to record what task each worker performed when recording labour entries, you can add a custom ‘plain text’ field for additional notes.
  • To record the type of equipment was used on a Daywork Sheet, you can add a custom ‘Single Select (Dropdown)’ field to distinguish if it is rented or owned equipment.

What else can I do with custom fields?

After you create your custom fields, here are things you can do:

  • Add custom fields to a configurable fieldset and the assign the fieldset to a project. After creating a custom field, you can then add it to a configurable fieldset (see Create New Configurable Fieldsets). After adding your custom field to a fieldset, you can then define whether that field is going to be required, optional or hidden in the Daywork Sheets tool. 
  • Include your custom fields in your Company and Project level reports. If you want to include a custom field in any custom Daywork Sheets reports, your custom fields will be available in Procore's reporting tools. See Create a Custom Company Report or Create a Custom Project Report. 
    Note: Custom fields are NOT currently supported with Procore Analytics. 
  • Custom Fields with the Procore API. If you decide to add custom fields to the Daywork Sheets tool, custom fields are also supported by the Procore API. 

Where else can I create custom fields?
