I desperately need the ability to do this! How soon can y'all get it working?
Hey there!Feature Request: Folders or Collections in the Documents View
I like the recent change combining Reports and Pages into the Documents area, and I also appreciate that Documents are searchable and can be filtered.
I would love to see an additional organizational layer added: folders, collections, or some similar way of grouping documents within a project.
As CompanyCam becomes a more complete project record, the Documents area can quickly contain very different types of information:
Search and filters are useful, particularly from an administrative perspective, but they don't completely replace simple visual organization.
- Daily Reports
- Weekly Reports
- Permits & Inspections
- Site Plans
- Drawings
- Specifications
- Project Notes
- Client Documents
- Other project-specific records
My biggest concern is quick field access.
If one of my crew members needs the site plan, permit or latest drawing while standing on a job, I want them to be able to open the project, go to Documents → Drawings and immediately find it.
If finding a document requires searching, remembering its name, selecting the correct filter, or scrolling through a mixture of daily reports, notes, permits and drawings, field adoption becomes much more difficult.
A simple folder structure could make the Documents area much more useful as the project's working reference library.
For example:
Documents
I don't think this needs to replace the existing search and filtering tools — I think the two approaches complement each other.
- Daily Reports
- Weekly Reports
- Permits & Inspections
- Plans & Drawings
- Specifications
- Project Notes
Search and filters are excellent for finding something. Folders are excellent for knowing where something is.
For office use, either method works. In the field, reducing the number of taps and decisions required to reach an important document can make the difference between the crew actually using the project documentation and simply calling or texting someone to ask where it is.
As more project information moves into CompanyCam, having a simple organizational structure within Documents would help make it practical as both the project record and the crew's everyday field reference.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to chime back in on this thread. Good news: CompanyCam has released Marketing Suite, which lets you post directly to social media, manage and respond to Google Business reviews, and showcase your best Project photos, all from inside CompanyCam.Going to start the 14-day trial & give it a run! I know this is just for Google Reviews - any plans for something similar for social media???
Sidenote, if there was a way to get this as an add-on instead of upgrading to Elite, we'll be more likely to purchase it. We don't have the need for any of the other Elite features...
