Objective

To edit tiered locations.

Background

Locations give you the ability to link different Procore items (e.g., RFIs, Submittals, and more) to specific locations on a job site. This helps project team members to identify the exact location(s) on a job site where a defect was observed, where materials are to be installed, or where a project change order occurred.

You can edit locations as needed.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Admin' level permission on the project's Admin tool.
      OR
    • 'Read Only' or 'Standard' level permissions on the project's Admin tool with the 'Manage Locations' granular permission enabled on your permission template.
  • Limitations:
    Important! Any changes to the locations in your project are updated in every place that references that location. For example, if your project has an existing single-tier location called “East Wing Men’s Bathroom” and you want to rename the first tier “East Wing” and create a second-tier within the East Wing named, “Men’s Bathroom,” any items in Procore that had been tied to the single-tier location will be automatically set to use the new "East Wing" first-tier location. If you want your items to point to the second tier location, you will need to manually edit that information in one of the supported tools. For a list of supported tools, see What are multi-tiered locations?

Steps

Take the following steps based on how your locations were created:

Edit Manually Created or Imported Locations

  1. Navigate to the project's Admin tool.
  2. Under 'Project Settings' in the right pane, click Locations.
  3. Locate the location or tier that you want to edit.
  4. If you want to use the search feature, highlight the location or tier that you want to search within. Then start typing the location or tier name to find the desired match.
