Specifications
Support for a new Specification format: CAWS (December 2024)
CAWS stands for (Common Arrangement of Work Sections) format. Fieldwire now supports this new Specification format (a format commonly used in the UK)! This only affects the specification upload process, and does not include any UI or UX changes. Customers uploading CAWS specs should notice that their specs are automatically split into sections and assigned a name/number with a much higher degree of accuracy than seen previously.

Show "Import submittals" button to Contributors (December 2024)
Previously, the “Import submittals” button was hidden for non-Managers on the project. This change displays the button to all users, independent of permissions, and includes a tool-tip stating that only Managers can import submittals. If you want to be a Manager on a project, you'll need to reach out to an Admin on the project who can update your permission level.
