Installation and Setup on Procore
To install and configure the Build with Vyn SmartVideoNotes App on Procore, use the following steps:
- Within Procore, select the Apps dropdown and choose ‘App Management’.
Click the Install App button and choose ‘Install App from Marketplace’ in the dropdown. - Click on ‘Log In‘. Enter your Procore details and click ‘Log In’ once more. If you’re a Company Admin for multiple companies, you’ll be asked to choose the company where you’d like to install the App.
- Type ‘Build with Vyn SmartVideoNotes’ in the search bar and you will be taken to the Build with Vyn SmartVideoNotes app page.
From the Build with Vyn SmartVideoNotes app page click the orange Install App button.
You must have Procore admin permissions in order to install apps from the App Marketplace. You can either enable permissions for the Build with Vyn SmartVideoNotes app on some projects, or on all current and future projects. Select your preferred option and follow the instructions here for additional information. Note that Build with Vyn SmartVideoNotes is a Data Connection (DMSA) app, and requires the configuration of a permission template for the DMSA “user” in the Company Level Directory to allow the app to function as intended on all projects. - Click ‘Install’ to confirm your selection. You will be prompted with an alert informing you that you are granting permission to the Build with Vyn SmartVideoNotes app for the Observation Tool. Click the ‘Install’ button. You will receive a notification indicating Successful Installation.
- After closing that modal, you will be prompted to add your Procore projects that you want the app to be able to access. Click the Select Projects dropdown and choose the projects you would like to share with Build with Vyn SmartVideoNotes and click the ‘Add’ button.
At this stage, the setup on Procore is complete.
