For which items in Procore should I make templates?
Answer
If you are a new Procore user, your Procore point of contact may have told you that there some items in Procore can be created and used later as a template. This helps to minimize the amount of time it takes to set up new Procore projects, so you don't have to spend time creating shared assets over again on subsequent projects. The table below details the Procore tools and items that can be used as templates.
