Overview
Submittals can be viewed from the Fieldwire mobile app on Android and iOS. On Android, users can also link existing Submittals directly to Plans, making it easier to connect Submittal documentation to the relevant location in the field.
Most Submittal workflow actions, such as creating new Submittals, requesting submissions, submitting for approval, and closing Submittals, are still completed from the web version of Fieldwire.
