    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I link Groundplan to more than one Simpro build?

    No.

    You can only have your Groundplan Account linked to one Simpro URL. If you have more than one Simpro URL requiring Quotes to be sent to, you will need separate Groundplan Accounts for each URL you wish to use.

    However, Groundplan can connect to multiple companies with a single Simpro URL if you have a multi-company Simpro build.


    Can I switch between Simpro URLs on my Groundplan?

    No.

    All data pulled through from Simpro Groundplan is based on IDs. By disconnecting one Simpro URL and reconnecting to a different one, you will have data problems, including Measurements not sending across to Simpro correctly.


    Can I have more than one Groundplan Account linked to the same Simpro URL?

    Yes.

    Each Groundplan Account can be connected via the Integrations Tab.


    Why can't I see the “Integrations'' tab?

    Only Users who are in the Roles of Owner, Admin and Setup can see the Integration Section. Please have one of those roles connect Groundplan with Simpro.


    Can I share Projects outside of my organsiation?

    Yes.

    However, when sharing Projects with another organisation also using Simpro, only Prebuilds and Catalogue items from your connected Simpro account can be pushed correctly to your Simpro Quote.

    Simpro items are linked to Groundplan using background ID's.

    Any catalogue items or prebuilds linked from a different Simpro URL will not create the correct/expected item in your Simpro Quote.


    I am unable to access the API section in Simpro, what can I do?

    If you are unable to access this page, please enable API Applications in your security group.

    1. Go to Security Group Setup , and click on the security group for your user
    2. Under Permissions, open the Setup tab, then the System sub-tab
    3. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and tick the API Applications permission (near to last item)
    4. Click Finish to save your changes.
