Prerequisites

  • You must have an active DADO account.

  • You must have admin or member access to projects in Procore - all Procore permissions to access content is respected within DADO.

  • You must have the tools enabled in Procore for the content that you want to sync into DADO.

  • A Procore administrator must first install the DADO Sync for the Procore app in their Procore instance. In the Procore App Marketplace, go to the listing link and select install.

  • If you are not an administrator, you can submit a request for the app to be installed. Procore administrators will receive a request notification like the one below with a request and directions to install the app.

Setting Up Your Syncs for Each Procore Tool

Once you’ve completed the prerequisites, follow the standard steps to sync to DADO as described in the article Import Your Documents into DADO.

Selecting Sync Folders from Procore

All Sync connections that are set up in DADO follow a standard folder structure. Once you authenticate in DADO you’ll see a layout with nested folders in the following structure:

Company

⤷ Project

⤷ Document Type (Procore Tool)

Syncing Drawings

  • We suggest synchronizing Procore Drawings to Project Drawings in DADO.

  • You don’t need to set up templates - the metadata is automatically included from DADO Sync.

  • Next, establish your DADO Sync connection.

Syncing RFIs

  • Procore RFI's will automatically create a new document type in DADO.

  • You don’t need to set up templates - the metadata is automatically included from DADO Sync.

  • Next, establish your DADO Sync connection.

Additional Note: Attachments associated with Procore RFIs will also pass into DADO via DADO Sync.

Syncing Documents

  • Create a Custom Document Type - we recommend naming it after the specific document you’d want to access - for example, “Code Books”.

    • If you just want to import a catch-all, you can also sync to other documents but you won’t be able to use DADO Templates for these documents.

  • Create the standard RFI fields that you’ll want to tag and organize your documents by, like date, and who it’s assigned to. You’ll use these fields later to set up search notifications.

  • Next, establish your DADO Sync connection.

Once you establish DADO Sync for RFIs or Documents, we recommend using DADO Templates to automate your document administration.
