Material Catalog
The Material Catalog is your organization's shared library of materials — stucco, paint, caulk, etc. Once added, a material can be tracked across any project.
Steps
1. Go to the Material Catalog
Click Material Catalog in the main navigation.
2. Click Add Material
Click Add Material in the top-right corner.
3. Fill in the fields
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Name | Required. Unique within your org. |
| Unit | How it's counted in inventory (bag, gallon, roll, etc.) |
| Manufacturer Yield | How many work units one material unit covers (e.g. 45 SF/bag). Used for forecasting. |
| Performance Unit | The work unit for the yield (SF, LF, etc.) |
| Description / Notes | Optional |
Leave yield blank if unknown — forecasts show "No forecast" until it's set.
4. Save
Click Save. The material is now available to log on any project.
Uploading a Data Sheet
Open any material from the catalog and click Upload Data Sheet to attach the manufacturer's PDF. The data sheet is included in Material Submittals.
