A configurable fieldset is a group of fields in certain Procore tools that can be set to optional, required or hidden, depending on the needs of your company. This allows for better control over data entry when users create and edit items in Procore projects. To configure fieldsets, you must have 'Admin' permissions to the Company Admin tool.

Notes:

You can configure fields for creating a Project. These fields can be edited in the project's Admin tool. However, only one fieldset can be created, and it will be applied to all projects. See Create a Project Fieldset.
Through configurable fieldsets, you can also create custom fields for certain tools in Procore to use on projects. See Create New Custom Fields.
If a field that is not currently supported on the Procore mobile app is marked as 'Required,' the unsupported field will not appear on the mobile app and the item can still be submitted without the required field. Items created and edited on the web application will still require the 'Required' field regardless of whether the field is supported on the mobile app.
Custom fields added to a configurable fieldset are only available for some tools on the Procore mobile app. See What are custom fields and which Procore tools support them?

Prerequisites

See Create New Configurable Fieldsets OR click here to view the steps.

Navigate to the Company level Admin tool.
Under 'Tool Settings', click the tool you want to create configurable fieldsets for.
Click the Fieldsets tab.

Note: Tools without other settings in the Company level Admin tool will open to this page automatically.
Click Create New across from the section you want to configure fieldsets for.
In the 'Create Fieldset' window, enter a name for the fieldset and click Create.
On the 'Edit Fieldset' page, each field name has the following options:
- Click the toggle to the ON position to make the field visible in the section.
  OR
  Click the toggle to the OFF position to hide the field in the section.
  Note: A icon indicates that the field is visible by default and cannot be changed to hidden.
- Mark the 'Required' checkbox to designate the field as required.
  OR
  Clear the 'Required' checkbox to designate the field as optional.
  Notes:
  - Fields without a checkbox are optional by default and cannot be changed to required.
  - A gray marked checkbox indicates that the field is required by default and cannot be changed to optional.
Click Save.
In the 'Apply changes to [#] project(s)?' window, click Assign Projects to add the fieldset to projects.
- In the 'Assign Projects' window, mark the checkbox next to each project you want to apply the fieldset to and click Update.
- In the 'Apply changes to [#] project(s)?' window, click Confirm.
Optional: To set a fieldset as the default for new projects, click the icon at the end of its row on the 'Fieldsets' tab and select Set as New Project Default.

Note
Projects created from a project template that includes fieldsets will inherit the fieldsets from the project template instead of your company's default fieldsets. See Configure a Project Template.
