Search for and Filter Submittals

Background

Because of the large volume of submittals generated on a project, the Submittals tool offers advanced search, filter, and grouping features. These capabilities allow you to quickly locate specific items, narrow your submittal log by key attributes, or group data by status, spec section, or contractor.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:

  • Additional Information:

    • Saved Filters: Any filters you apply will stay active even if you leave the page or come back later, until you clear them manually.

    • Combining Search and Filters: Search terms and active filters work together. For example, if you filter for Open submittals and then type a keyword, Procore will only search within your open submittals.
