Create Locations Manually (Beta)

You can create one or more locations manually for a project directly in the Locations tool. Locations give you the ability to link different Procore items (RFIs, Submittals, and more) to specific locations on a job site. This helps project team members to identify the exact location on a job site where a defect was observed, where materials are to be installed, or where a project change order occurred.

Locations are generally tiered in a hierarchy to associate parent and sub locations. You can add Tier 1 location (s), or add a sub location to a Tier 1 location. For example, Let's say your project includes the construction of a parking lot. You may use a location structure as follows:
Parking Lot A > Ground Floor > EastParking Lot A > Ground Floor > WestParking Lot A > Level Two > EastParking Lot A > Level Two > West

Note: You can create locations in bulk using one of the following Import options in the Locations tool:

• Procore BIM Plugin: See Import Locations Using Procore BIM Plugin.

• Procore Imports or CSV Template: See Import Locations Using Procore Imports or CSV Template.

• Required User Permissions

• Create a Location Using the Create Button

• Create a Sub Location Using Inline Creation
