Edit a Transmittal

Objective

To edit a transmittal in the project's Transmittals tool. 

Background

Using the project's Transmittals tool, you can create a record of project information that has been sent to others via fax and shipping channels. When you create a transmittal and email a copy of it to your recipients, all of the information is captured and stored with your Procore project, including the names of the sender, recipient, and any relevant dates. For example, perhaps a user's email system is down and the only way to send an official response is via fax or a phone call. In such cases, you would want to create a transmittal in order to keep track of the correspondence, so a historical record is available for audit purposes in Procore. 

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • To edit any transmittal, 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Transmittals tool.
      OR
    • To edit a transmittal that you created, 'Standard' level permissions or higher on the project's Transmittals tool.
  • Additional Information:
    • The 'Related Items', 'Emails', and 'Change History' tabs become visible and available after a transmittal is created. 

Prerequisites

Steps

Edit General Information

      OR
    • Click View. This opens the transmittal in view mode. Then click Edit
  3. In the 'General Information' area, you can edit the following fields:
     
    • Number: Procore automatically assigns numbers to new transmittals in sequential order. You may change this number as desired.

    • Subject: A descriptive subject for the transmittal.

    • To: Select people or distribution groups from the project's Directory. This action assigns the transmittal to the named individuals. If you choose to click the Create and Email button (or 'Save and Email' if you are an 'Admin' user editing an existing transmittal), the system will automatically email a notification about the transmittal to the recipients. 

    • CC: Select people or distribution groups from the project's Directory. This action carbon copies the transmittal to the named individuals. If you choose to click the Create and Email button (or 'Save and Email' if you are an 'Admin' user editing an existing transmittal), the system will automatically email a notification about the transmittal to the recipients.

    • Sent Via: Select Attached to attach an item from Procore to the transmittal or Under Separate Cover. If you select Under Separate Cover, you can also select one of these options: Email, US Mail, Hand Delivery, FedEx, UPS, DHL, Express Mail, Fax, and Other

    • Private: Mark this checkbox to hide the transmittal from everyone except 'Admin' level users, designated users in the 'To' and 'Cc' fields, and members of the default distribution group (see Configure Advanced Settings: Transmittals).

    • Submitted For: Mark the checkboxes that correspond to the reason the transmittal is being submitted. You have these choices: Approval, Your Use, As Requested, Review and Comment, or Further Processing.

    • Action as Noted: Mark the checkboxes that correspond to the desired action. You have these choices: Out for Signature, Approved as Submitted, Approved as Noted, Submit, Resubmitted, Returned, Returned for Corrections, Resubmit, Due By, Received, Received as Noted, and Sent Date. (Note: It is recommended that you work with your project's management to define the proper use for each of these default actions in your environment). 

  4. Choose from the following options:
    • Click Save to save the transmittal without emailing it to the recipients in the 'To' and 'Cc' fields. 
      OR
    • Click Save and Email to save the transmittal and email it to the recipients designated in the 'To' and 'Cc' fields. 
      The Transmittal successfully updated banner appears.
