What tool names and terms are different in Procore for general contractors, owners, and specialty contractors?

At Procore, we know that each type of construction collaborator utilizes their own vocabulary in their everyday business activities, so we have created what we refer to as "Point-of-View Dictionaries" for general contractors, owners, and specialty contractors. These dictionaries change Procore's default terminology in the platform to account for the needs and preferences of each distinct audience.

When you implement a point-of-view dictionary in your environment, certain tool names and terms change in the user interface depending on the dictionary chosen. Currently, these dictionaries are only available in US English and the default dictionary is designed for general contractors. To access the dictionary preferred by owners or specialty contractors, you will first need to work with your Procore Administrator at your company and your Procore point of contact (who can change your company's default dictionary). After that, you can use the desired dictionary on a project or on your individual user account. Learn how to apply the dictionary options.
