  4. Complete the following fields:
    • Sign with DocuSign©

      Accept the default contract number, enter a new number for this contract or create a custom numbering scheme for this contract and future contracts.
       Note
      • If you plan to create multiple change orders, Procore automatically assigns new numbers in sequential order. For example; 001, 002, 003 and so on. 
      • To use a custom numbering scheme, enter any set of alphanumeric characters and Procore automatically assigns new numbers in sequential order using your custom scheme. For example, enter PCCO-1, PCCO-01 or PCCO-001. 
    • Date Created
