Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:

- Additional Information:
- When you create a Lookahead in Procore, it will not show up on an integrated schedule in Procore (e.g. Microsoft Project, Primavera).
- Lookaheads populate directly from the master schedule. To see changes made to the master schedule reflected on the lookahead you will need to re-upload the master schedule and create a new Lookahead schedule.
- You can create multiple lookahead schedules within the same project. See Create Next Lookahead.
- Prerequisites:
- In order to create a Lookahead, you must have Admin permissions and already have a master schedule uploaded in Procore. See Upload a Project Schedule File.

- Navigate to the project's Schedule tool.
- Click the Lookaheads tab.

- Fill out the following fields:
- Start date: The date you want your lookahead to start.
- Duration: Time frame you want the lookahead to show. You can select a minimum of one week and a maximum of six weeks.
Note: If a task on your lookahead lasts longer than the duration of the lookahead, it will still be reflected.
