Why It Matters
Beta Features let your organization test new functionality before its full release. Admins can choose which beta features to turn on or off, allowing your team to explore upcoming capabilities while controlling who gets access.
What You'll Need
Access to the SubcontractorHub platform.
Beta Features enabled for your organization by your Account Manager.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Open "Manage Database" from the main menu and select "Database".
Step 2: Navigate to "Additional" and click "Beta Features".
Step 3: Click the "Edit" button.
Step 4: Turn on the toggle for the beta feature you want to enable.
Step 5: Click "Update" to save your changes.
Pro Tip
Enable beta features for a small group of users first before rolling them out to your entire organization. This helps you gather feedback and test new workflows with minimal disruption.
Troubleshooting
Issue | Solution |
The Beta Features section is missing. | Confirm that Beta Features have been enabled for your organization by a Superadmin. |
The Edit button is unavailable. | Make sure you're signed in with an admin account that has permission to manage database settings. |
The beta feature isn't available. | Only beta features released to your organization will appear in the list. |
Changes aren't taking effect. | Click Update after enabling the toggle and refresh the page if needed. |
Real-World Example
A contractor wants to test a new proposal workflow before rolling it out company-wide. After the Superadmin enables Beta Features, an admin turns on the new workflow from the Beta Features section, allowing the team to evaluate it before it becomes a standard feature across the organization.
