Access Permissions:

  • Only Admin users with Owner or Manager access can edit permit templates.

  • This access level is consistent with editing other templates across BuildPass.

How to Edit a Permit Template

  1. Navigate to the Permits page within your project.

  2. Click More, then select Edit Permit Types.

  3. Choose the permit type you would like to edit.


Permit Template Types

Each permit can include up to three templates:

  • Application
    Questions workers must answer when applying for the permit.

  • Enactment
    Questions workers answer when starting or stopping the permitted work.

  • Close Out
    Questions workers answer when completing or closing the permit.


Editing or Creating Templates

  • To edit an existing template, click the Edit button next to the relevant template.

  • If a template does not yet exist, you can create a new one from this page.

  • You can add or remove blocks within a permit template in the same way you would edit a checklist template.


Important Notes

  • Not all permits require all three templates.

  • Workers can still start, pause, and close out work even if a specific template is not configured.

  • In these cases, workers will simply press a button to complete the action.
