Objective
To configure a custom workflow for single-tier change orders on a Procore project.
Background
After an authorized user publishes a custom workflow for use with a subcontract or purchase order, the next step is to assign that workflow to a project. Once the workflow is assigned to a project, you can update its configuration settings for your specific project. This includes assigning a person to act as the 'Workflow Manager' for your project and assigning the appropriate distribution group(s) and assignees to your workflow for Procore's automated notifications.

Navigate to the Project level Commitments or Prime Contracts tool depending on which type of change order workflow you are configuring.
Click the Configure Settings
icon.
Click on 'Workflow Settings' in the right pane.
Click the Configure button to open the workflow viewer.
At the top of the workflow, do the following:
Assign Workflow Manager. Select the project user who is assigned to this role in the drop-down list at the top of the page.
Assign Distribution Group. Select a distribution group from this list. These users are the individuals who will receive notification emails from Procore when actions are triggered by your workflow steps.

Customize the Standard Steps in a Custom Workflow for a Project
Navigate to the Project level **Commitments or Prime Contracts tool depending on which type of change order workflow you are configuring
Click the Configure Settings
icon.
Click on 'Workflow Settings' in the right pane.
Locate the workflow to update in the 'Change Order Workflow Settings' table and click Configure.
Click a standard step in the custom workflow to open the right pane for that step.
Do the following:
Assignee(s). Select one (1) or more Procore user names from this drop-down list. To appear in this list, the individual must be added to the project's Directory tool. Note: If 'Item Creator' was selected for the assignee role of a step in the company level workflow builder, another specific assignee cannot be chosen.
Days to Complete*. Enter a number in the first box. Then select Calendar Days or Business Days from the drop-down list. This defines the number of days the 'Assignee(s)' have to complete the workflow step. If the 'Assignees' do not complete these steps, Procore sends an automated notification to the assignee(s) as a reminder.
Repeat the steps above for every standard step in the workflow
Click Save. Note: If there are any required fields remaining to be filled, a banner will appear at the top of the workflow viewer. Click Show Details to see which step and field needs to be addressed.
Set a Default Workflow for Change Orders
A default workflow must be configured and set before the workflow can be started on a change order.
Hover over the 'Default Workflow' column in the change order workflow settings table.
Click Set as Default. Note: If a default workflow has already been set, the same action will remove the default selection.
Once the default workflow is set, a checkmark will appear in the 'Default Workflow' column next to that template.
