Considerations and Best Practices

  • Required User Permissions

  • Custom fields applied in Resource Planning are not updated in Procore's Company Directory or the Project level Admin tool.

  • Depending on the custom field, values for custom fields are added in 'People Info', 'Project Info', 'Assignment Details', or 'Request Details'.

  • Only certain 'field types' can be filtered.

  • To filter on a custom field, the Enable Use as Filter checkbox must be marked.

Tip icon Tip

Choose the 'field type' for a custom field according to how you need to standardize information.

  • Use a drop-down if you only want them to select a single option.

  • Choose a checkbox for 'Yes' and 'No' answers.

  • Only choose 'text' if you do not want to filter by that field or see a standardized response.
