Getting Started : Consultants and Collaborators

Welcome to Part3! As an external collaborator, you won't need to buy Part3. This article will help you make sure you have everything set up so you can start working in Part3! In the article we'll cover:

1. Setting up your personal profile
2. Tasks
3. Project team
4. Your company information (incl. disclaimers)
5. Part3 on mobile devices
6. Support

1. Set up your profile

Each Part3 user has their profile in Part3. It's important to make sure you have this set up before you start working in Part3. In your profile, you will manage:

• Contact information
• Signature upload
• Stamp uploads (to be used on Submittals and other documents if required)
• Email Preferences

If your project is connected to Procore, you will need to authorize your individual account so Part3 can talk to Procore. If this applies to your project, check out this article.

2. Tasks

There is only one thing to worry about when you come into Part3: your tasks. 

All of your tasks are listed on the project overview page. These tasks have buttons that direct you right to the document that you need to contribute to or review. 

You can also filter your tasks on the 'Logs' page, which contains changes, submittals, RFIs, etc. 

Using the filter button at the top of the page, you can either select 'My tasks' or sort them by your discipline. Feel free to apply as many filters as you want to narrow down your search. 

3. Project Team

Your team members are managed at the project level. In some cases, the Prime Consultant who purchased Part3 will add your team members. However, you have the ability to add your company's team members as well.

Go to the team's page at the project level, scroll down to find your company, click the three dots beside 'Edit cover pages', and select '+ Add member'. 

4. Your company information - For Consultants

It's important that you use your organization's legal language and colors to represent your brand. To control these settings, go to the Team's page at the project level, scroll down to your company, and select 'Edit cover pages' in the top right corner of your company. You can update all the fields to reflect your company's standards

• What you call documents. Is a Proposed Change the same thing for you, if not, call it what you want!
• Legal disclaimers (ie; for submittals, change documents, etc.)
• Custom footer to add any branding or company contact information
• Brand colors that represent your company. 

5. Part3 on mobile devices

Construction happens on site (that's obvious), so it's important to have Part3 set up on your mobile devices. Part3 is a progressive web app and can be saved on mobile devices, but it's not found in an app store. Check out this article to learn how to save Part3 as an app on Android and Apple devices.
