Core Concepts
Glossary of the fundamental concepts used across the entire platform.
What is it?
A glossary of the fundamental concepts used throughout Modunex. Understanding these terms makes the rest of the documentation easier to follow.
Glossary
- Organization — The root entity that groups all the companies and projects of an account.
- Company — A business unit with its own configuration, directory, and permissions.
- Project — An individual job or project with its own team, documentation, and workflows.
- Scope — The level at which a configuration applies: Company scope or Project scope.
- Roles — User profiles that bundle a predefined set of permissions.
- Permissions — Granular access control by module and level (View, Collaboration, Admin).
- Workflows — Configurable review and approval flows for each module.
- Fieldsets — Custom fields added to the forms of each module.
How they fit together
- A Role bundles a set of Permissions that determine what a user can do in each module.
- Permissions can be defined at Company scope (defaults) or Project scope (overrides).
- Workflows route items (RFIs, submittals, punch items) through review and approval steps.
- Fieldsets extend the standard forms with the custom data each company needs.
For the access model in depth, see the Permissions Guide. For how scope determines where configuration applies, see Scope & Inheritance.
