Note: You will be taken to the Submittal Builder in the Procore Submittals tool.
Review New Submittals
- Click a spec section in the list of selected sections on the left.
- If needed, view the spec section PDF to help you build submittals. Opening the spec section PDF will not disrupt your work in the Submittal Builder.
Note: View the spec section to easily add additional submittals to the submittal builder by Highlighting to add Submittals to the Submittal Builder.
- Procore will attempt to fill the Type and Description fields. Review these fields before adding or configuring the submittal titles.
- Add a Title for each submittal.
OR
Select Configure Title to automate submittal titles for the submittals in all spec sections or in the current spec section. See Submittal Builder: Configure Submittal Titles.
