Objective

To create a change event from an instruction in Procore.

Background

If you have issued an instruction that leads to a change event (see What is a change event?), you can create a change event from the Instructions tool. When you create the change event, information from the instruction is automatically added, and a link to the instruction is added to the 'Origin' field of the change event.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Standard' or 'Admin' permissions on the Instructions tool.
      AND
    • 'Standard' or 'Admin' permissions on the Change Events tool. 
  • Additional Information:
    • The Instructions tool has been developed specifically for Procore clients in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. 
    • The number and title of the instruction are automatically added to the 'Origin' field of the change event.
    • The following information from the instruction will also carry over to the change event:
      • Title
      • Description
      • Attachments

  • Alternate ways to create change events:
