Change Orders in the TeamLink™ Portal 

Discover how you can view and manage Change Orders assigned to you directly from the TeamLink Portal 

BACKGROUND 

The TeamLink Portal was designed specifically for subcontractors and vendors to stay connected and up-to-date on important project information throughout the duration of a project. Within the TeamLink Portal, you can communicate directly with the general contractor and access key financial information, including Change Orders. With the appropriate Change Order permissions, you can easily view and manage your assigned Change Orders directly from the Portal.  

THINGS TO CONSIDER

Access to Change Orders via the TeamLink Portal requires an existing TeamLink User account. If you do not currently have TeamLink access, contact the general contractor to be added as a TeamLink User.


From the Portal Change Orders section, you can: 

Change Order Views

You can view your assigned Change Orders within the TeamLink Portal from three interfaces—List View, Group-by View, and Card View—using the view toggle icons in the top right corner of the Change Orders pane. Each view presents Change Order information in a different format to accommodate your preferences.
