Understanding Scope

What is scope?

Scope is the level at which a piece of configuration applies. In Modunex every configurable element — a role, a permission, a fieldset, a workflow — lives in one of two scopes. Company scope applies to the whole company and, by inheritance, to all of its projects. Project scope applies to a single project only.

How scope determines where configuration applies

• When you configure something at company scope, it becomes the default for every project of that company.
• When you configure something at project scope, it applies only to that project and can override the company default.
• If the same element exists at both scopes, the project value wins within that project.

Why it matters

Scope is what lets you define standards once and reuse them everywhere, while still adapting each project to its particular needs without duplicating data.
