Create a Change Event from an Instruction

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
