Objective 

To learn about the options you can use when working with main contracts in the Main Contracts tool. 

Background 

The table in the project's Main Contracts tool lists all of the main contracts on your project. The features available in this tab also provide you with:

  • Control over your contract's row and column configurations. Optimize your tool's workspace by changing the width and height of the table's rows. You can also easily show and hide the columns of your choice, quickly change the column sorting, automatically size one or all columns and pin columns to keep them in place on your page. 
  • Powerful filtering capabilities to analyse your contract data.  Apply filters to improve your ability to analyse your contract financials. When applying a filter, Procore shows only the line items that meet your criteria and hides the line items that don't. You can then export or print your data with the filters you've applied. 
  • Convenient data grouping options. Take a focused look at important subpopulations by bundling your contracts together in categories. Want to see all your contacts in the 'Draft' status or all the contracts for a specific company? You can apply one are all the grouping options to the table in the Main Contracts tool and rearrange the way your contracts data is nested. 
  • Streamlined viewing and navigation experience for greater insight into large contract sets. The Main Contracts tool provides you with the best possible viewing and navigation experience to save you time jumping around to look at data.
