Edit Tiered Locations
Objective
To edit tiered locations.
Background
Locations give you the ability to link different Procore items (e.g., RFIs, Submittals, and more) to specific locations on a job site. This helps project team members to identify the exact location(s) on a job site where a defect was observed, where materials are to be installed, or where a project change order occurred.
You can edit locations as needed.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- 'Admin' level permission on the project's Admin tool.
OR - 'Read Only' or 'Standard' level permissions on the project's Admin tool with the 'Manage Locations' granular permission enabled on your permission template.
- 'Admin' level permission on the project's Admin tool.
- Limitations:
Important! Any changes to the locations in your project are updated in every place that references that location. For example, if your project has an existing single-tier location called “East Wing Men’s Bathroom” and you want to rename the first tier “East Wing” and create a second-tier within the East Wing named, “Men’s Bathroom,” any items in Procore that had been tied to the single-tier location will be automatically set to use the new "East Wing" first-tier location. If you want your items to point to the second tier location, you will need to manually edit that information in one of the supported tools. For a list of supported tools, see What are multi-tiered locations?
Steps
Take the following steps based on how your locations were created:
Edit Manually Created or Imported Locations
- Navigate to the project's Admin tool.
- Under 'Project Settings' in the right pane, click Locations.
- Locate the location or tier that you want to edit.
