Project Templates in Procore
Project Template Overview
Project Templates allow you to save common project configurations in Procore. You can set a default template for all new Procore projects created through Agave Sync, saving time on repetitive tasks such as:
- Adding users & setting permissions
- Enabling which tools are active on the project
- Adding vendors to your project directory
- Setting up your Work Breakdown Structure
For more information, see Procore's docs: What is a Project Template?, Configure a Project Template, Apply a Project Template to a New Project.
Project Template Configuration Checklist
For Agave Sync, we recommend setting up at least the following settings in your template:
- Active Tools - The Procore functionality that will be enabled by default in every project.
- Project Directory (Users) - Ensure the users that will need access to every project are added with the proper permissions.
- Project Directory (Companies) - Ensure the Companies ("Vendors") that are commonly used on your projects are added to the directory.
- Work Breakdown Structure - Ensure your company's standard cost codes and other segments are included on the template.
If you do not have a Project Template in your Procore instance, you may need to request it.
