Create a Project Room

Purpose: Centralize all communication about a specific project in one place.

Step-by-step:

1. Open Flow in the app

2. Go to the “Projects” tab

3. Tap the three dots in the top-right corner

4. Select “Create Project Room”

5. Choose the project the room will be created for

6. Select which channels should be created automatically:

   • ✓ General channel (default for all project participants – recommended)

   • ✓ Discipline-specific channels (one channel per trade group, e.g., Concrete, Electrical, Flooring)

   • ✓ Subcontractor-specific channels (one channel per subcontractor)

7. Tap “Save”

What happens:

• The project room is created with:

  • A project bulletin board (functions like Posts but only for the project)

  • The selected channels

General channel:

• Created automatically

• All project participants are members

• Cannot be deleted

Discipline-specific channels:

• Only members of that specific trade group are included

• Example: Only electricians in the Electrical channel

Subcontractor channels:

• Direct communication with specific subcontractors

• Example: Channel only for project manager + plumbing subcontractor

After creation:

• You can create additional channels in the project room as needed

• Use the project bulletin board for project-specific posts

• Shortcut available to access the project directly from the project room

Typical use cases:

• Project manager communicates daily updates

• Electrical subcontractor asks questions in the Electrical channel

• Foreman shares photos of completed work

• Safety coordinator posts risk assessments on the project bulletin board
