Request to Import Segment Items for WBS
Objective
To submit a request for Procore to perform a segment item import for your company's or project's Work Breakdown Structure.
Background
With Procore's Work Breakdown Structure, clients can self-perform the segment item import process using the Procore Imports app. If you do not have a computer system on which you can install Procore Imports (For a list of things to consider, see Procore Imports: Setup Guide), a user with the "Required User Permissions" detailed below can submit a request to have Procore perform the data import for you.
Example
Below are examples of the types of segment items that you can request to import:
- Cost codes are segment items on the 'Cost Code' segment.
- Cost types are segment items on the 'Cost Type' segment.
- Sub jobs are segment items on the optional 'Sub Job' segment.
If you have created a custom segment (such as Phase, Location, Area, and so on), you can request to import segment items to those segments as well. To learn more about segments, see What are segments and segment items?
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- To request a segment item import for a project, 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Admin tool.
- To request a segment import for your company, 'Admin' level permissions on the company's Admin tool.
- Additional Information:
- The import process can be used to add or edit segment items. However, it cannot be used to delete any existing segment items.
Steps
