Binder tab

This tab contains the following sub-tabs:
FieldDescription

Binder sub-tab - If user-defined fields exist for this function, the Binder sub-tab appears. Otherwise, the information appears on the Binder tab with no sub-tabs.

Each row in the grid is a binder item. A binder item is an item associated with the record. You can attach a file to a binder item and set reminders for binder items. It can be useful to create binder items for contracts, legal documents, and photos. Use the Binder Item Types screen to create and manage categories for binder items. A paper clip icon appears on the tab when it contains binder items. Use the View Binder Items screen to manage all of your binder items in ProContractor.

Click to add a row to the grid. Click to delete the active row from the grid.

Note: Any binder items attached to the bid are not copied to the project when it is created from the Enter Project Manager Worksheet screen.

When you create the pdf document for a contract invoice, multiple binder items are automatically created —one for each individual format that is valid for the invoice (based on its billing format) and one that includes all formats. The binder item for the Pending COR format is created only if there are pending change order requests for the project.

Binder items for a contract invoice can also be manually created by adding rows to the grid.

Tip: You can create a binder item with an attachment by dragging and dropping a file from the following programs:
  • From Windows Explorer, drag and drop a file to the Binder Items grid to add the file as linked attachment.
  • From Microsoft Outlook, drag and drop an item (such as an e-mail, note, or meeting) to the Binder Items grid to add the item as an embedded attachment. Note that Microsoft Outlook must be installed on your computer to drag and drop an item to the Binder items grid.
Reference Existing Binder ItemIf a binder item already exists in ProContractor and is shared, you can reference it (rather than creating a new, separate binder item). Click Reference Existing Binder Item, select the binder item you want to reference from a Lookup List, and click OK.
OpenYou can open one or more binder item attachments. You must have the software required to open an attachment—such as Adobe Reader—installed on your computer to be able to view it. Any changes you make to a binder item attachment are saved when you close the attachment.

In the Select column, select the checkbox for each binder item you want to include in the e-mail and click Open.

E-mailYou can send one or more binder items in e-mail message. You must have MAPI-compliant e-mail software—such as Microsoft Outlook—installed on your computer to send an e-mail message with a binder item.

In the Select column, select the checkbox for each binder item you want to include in the e-mail and click E-mail.

    • If you delete the attachment file from the file system, the link is broken.
  • Embed - An embedded attachment is stored within ProContractor. You can set an embedded attachment so that it can be shared throughout ProContractor. Sharing an embedded attachment allows other users to reference it in other records in ProContractor. For example, if you create an embedded attachment of a contract, you might reference it in both the vendor record and the project record.
    • If you delete a binder item with an embedded attachment that is referenced in another record, you are deleting only the link. The attached document remains embedded in ProContractor.
