New Granular Permissions for Direct Costs Tool (3/8/2018)

The new permissions include 'Create Direct Cost', 'Update Direct Cost', and 'Delete Direct Cost'. Existing permission templates that grant users 'Standard' level permissions for the Direct Costs tool are now updated so that users with those templates do NOT see any change in functionality.

Updated the Project level Observations tool so that when users create an observation template, they can now select users with 'Standard' level permission from the 'Default Assignee' drop-down list. See Create a Project Level Observation Template.

Added Quick Observations (3/8/2018)

Quick Observations allows you to create a library of common observation items that can be organized under preset categories. Default titles, trades, and types can be assigned to these common observations. When a Procore user creates a new observation from a mobile device, they can select one of these templates, which auto-populates fields on the new observation item with default information from the template. Users can then add or edit information as needed, save the observation item, and move on. This allows users to select common observation items from their library and create new observation items more efficiently and with significantly less typing. See Observations: Quick Observations.
