How To Enable Or Disable Subcontractorhub Design Tools

Why This Matters

In the Design tool settings, there is an option called “Enable SubcontractorHub design tool”, which is off by default. This setting ensures that organizations which do not use SubcontractorHub’s manual or AI design tools will not see the option show up when creating a proposal. If a parent organization has disabled SubcontractorHub design tools, the setting will be reflected in all the offices of the parent organization. The same goes for interconnected sales and EPC organizations.If you would like to adjust this setting, you can contact your account manager.
