About the Prime Contracts Tool

Objective 

To learn about the options in the Prime Contracts tool. 

Background 

The data table in the Prime Contracts tool lists all of the contracts on your project. The features available in this tab also provide you with the ability to:

• Control table row and column configurations. Optimize your tool's workspace by changing the width and height of the table's rows. You can also easily show and hide the columns of your choice, quickly change the column sorting, automatically size one or all columns, and pin columns to keep them in place on your page. 
• Apply filters to analyze data. Apply filters to improve your ability to analyze your data. When applying a filter, Procore shows only the line items that meet your criteria and hides the line items that don't. You can then export or print your data with the filters applied. 
• Apply groupings to focus on subpopulations. Group your contracts in meaningful categories. Want to see all the contracts in the 'Draft' status? Or to view all contracts for a specific contractor or vendor? Apply the grouping and change the grouping order to nest the table's data. 
• Streamlined viewing and navigation experience. A clean table layout provides you with the best possible viewing and navigation experience so you don't have to spend your time jumping around to look at data. 

Things to Consider 

• Required User Permissions:
  • 'Read Only' level permissions or higher on the project's Prime Contracts tool. 

     Note

    • To perform certain tasks, you may need additional user access permissions.
    • To learn about the required user permissions for each task, see a tutorial link below. 

Prerequisites 

• Add the Prime Contracts tool to your project. See Add and Remove Project Tools.
