Background

Pinning items on iOS device creates a visual link between project items and document locations within the Viewer. This ensures that anyone viewing the drawing on a mobile device can see related issues and associated markups with full spatial context, matching the web experience.

Things to Consider

  • Permissions: Must have the ability to add markups to Documents workflows to utilize grouping features for more organized and efficient reviews.

  • Syncing: Items pinned on iOS device are instantly visible to others on the Android app and Procore Web.

  • Limitations: Observations pinned on iOS device do not currently support the Details Panel view within the document viewer.

  • Supported Item Types: You can pin and link existing Coordination Issues, Observations, RFIs, Inspections, Inspection Items, and Punch/Snag items on your mobile device.

  • Creation Restrictions: Creating brand-new items directly from the drawing viewer toolbar is only available for Coordination Issues and Observations. For RFIs, Inspections, Inspection Items, and Punch/Snag items, you must select from existing items already created in the project.

  • Details Panel View: While Observations do not currently support a details panel view within the drawing viewer, the details panel is fully supported for Coordination Issues, RFIs, Inspections, Inspection Items, and Punch/Snag items.

    4. (Optional) Add a markup while the item is active to link the drawing to that specific pin.

      Note: Creating a brand-new item from this panel is only supported for Coordination Issues and Observations.
