Create Projects in Workforce Planning
Objective
To create projects in Workforce Planning.
Background
Workforce Planning gives you the ability to create projects so that you can manage your workforce for those initiatives.
Note
Projects can be created in either Procore or Workforce Planning, but your company must choose one as your system of record. Your Procore point of contact guides your company through this decision based on your setup.
This article is for customers who have Workforce Planning as their system of record for project creation and management.
Things to Consider
