    • Submittal Manager. The name of the submittal manager. This is the person who is responsible for overseeing the submittal throughout its lifecycle in Procore.

    • Responsible Contractor. The company that is responsible for completing the work specified on the submittal.

To add a user to the 'Received From' field who is not associated with a submittal's current 'Responsible Contractor', first select the desired user's company in the 'Responsible Contractor' menu. Then you are able to select the user's name in the 'Received From' menu.
