'Trade' and 'Cost Code' Tickboxes Removed from Site Diary Configure Settings Page (19/12/2019)

With the introduction of configurable fieldsets, the 'Trade' and 'Cost Code' settings have been removed from the Site Diary tool's Configure Settings page. The options for these fields (along with several others) can now be managed through a fieldset in the Site Diary section of the Company level Admin tool. In addition to being able to hide these fields if needed, you can now also mark them as required or optional. See Create New Configurable Fieldsets or Edit Configurable Fieldsets.

Approve Pending Logs in List View (15/8/2019)

Procore has added a new option for reviewing and approving collaborator entries for the Manpower, Daily Construction Report, Notes and Delivery logs in the Site Diary tool. Instead of being redirected to a separate 'Pending Entries' page that lists all pending entries in the project, Admin users can now review, edit and approve entries in the same log they were added to.
