Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- To create a lookahead programme:
- 'Admin' permissions on the project's Programme tool.
OR - 'Read Only' or 'Standard' level permissions on the Programme tool with the 'Create Lookaheads' granular permission enabled on your permissions template.
- 'Admin' permissions on the project's Programme tool.
- To create a lookahead programme:
- Additional Information:
- When you create a Lookahead in Procore, it will not show up on an integrated programme in Procore (e.g. Microsoft Project, Primavera).
- Lookaheads populate directly from the master programme. To see changes made to the master programme reflected on the lookahead you will need to re-upload the master programme and create a new Lookahead programme.
- You can create multiple lookahead programmes within the same project. See Create Follow-up Lookahead.
- Prerequisites:
- In order to create a Lookahead, you must have Admin permissions and already have a master programme uploaded in Procore. See Upload a Project Programme File.
