Editing the Project Tabs

General

PROJECT NAME: If needed, edit the name of the project.
CODE: If applicable, enter the project code or number which can be used for internal or external purposes.
START DATE: Select the start date of the project.
END DATE: Select the end date of the project.
CLIENT NAME: Enter the name of the client.
LOGO: Upload the project logo by clicking on Choose and then navigating to the image you want. Click Upload to set it as the project logo. (PNG, JPG, SVG, and GIF files of less than 1MB are supported. We suggest using a minimum size of 400x400 pixels for optimal display.)
Location:
- DATA LOCATION: From the drop-down, select where the project's data will be stored. Choose the data center closest to your project location. By default, the data location will be set within your organization settings. Once the project is created, the data location cannot be changed.
- TIME ZONE: Select the project's time zone. This setting is used in Issues. When issues are created, they are shown in the project's time zone. And the same applies to issue history.
- LATITUDE & LONGITUDE:Find and enter the location coordinates and copy and paste them into the fields.
  IMPORTANT
  The latitude and longitude must be set to have weather data into the Daily Reports.
  Refer to the Tips on How to Find the Latitude Longitude section for more details.
- ADDRESS: Enter the address of where the project is located.
- FIELD MAP URL: Using a web mapping application such as Google Maps, enter the address of the project and search. Copy the URL address into the FIELD MAP URL field.
- WEATHER UNITS: Select either Imperial or Metric weather units, depending on the location of the project and what unit is used in that specific location.

Daily Reports
Workflows

Documents

DOCUMENTS:
- Users must create a layer to make markups public:By default, users can create public Markups without a layer. Switching this toggle on requires public markups to be created on a new layer.
- ORDERING PATTERN (Comma separated): This setting changes the order of documents from standard numeric/alphabetical order. It is recommended to wait before adding a pattern until the project has determined that the standard display orders don’t match expectations. For example, if a team would like to see drawing sheets listed in Architectural, Structural, Electrical, Mechanical order, “A,S,E,M” would be entered in this field.
  NOTE
  The Ordering Pattern field is only accessible to the STACK Owner.

Issues

Photos and comments are mandatory to complete issues: When this setting is toggled, the user is required to enter a comment and add a photo when closing an issue. Can be useful for those who fix punch-list items to document their work.
Custom configurable fields: Add three custom configurable fields that will be filled in when creating an issue. These fields can be used to filter and manage issues based on priority.
- LIST FIELD NAME 1
- LIST FIELD NAME 2
- LIST FIELD NAME 3
