ActualTime

Actual Time represents the timesheet data capturing the work performed by employees and logged against assigned Project Offerings. Actual Time is used to compare planned vs. actual effort, drive utilization reporting, support variance analysis, and inform project health and forecasting across the platform.

Operations

Clients

A client represents the customer organization associated with one or more projects. Clients serve as the primary entity used to group projects, service offerings, and resource plans, allowing for aggregated reporting on revenue, margin, utilization, and forecasting. Each project is tied to a client, enabling organizations to track work and financial performance at both the individual project and client account levels.

Operations

Departments

A department is used to categorize and group roles within the organization based on functional teams or disciplines. Departments help segment resource capacity, manage utilization targets, and support filtering within reporting and planning workflows. Each role in Parallax belongs to a department for organizational clarity and capacity planning.

Operations

People

People represent the individual resources available for assignment to projects. People are assigned roles, billable capacity, and utilization targets, and can be categorized by worker type, billing type, and department. A Persons record is central to capacity planning, resource allocation, forecasting, and reporting across the platform.

Pipelines

A Pipeline mirrors the sales opportunity stages configured in the integrated CRM system. The Pipeline allows Parallax to track deal progression, forecast demand, and convert opportunities into projects once deals are closed-won.

Operations

ProjectOfferingRoles

A Project Offering Role defines the specific role, resource allocation, and scheduled hours needed within a Project Offering. These roles form the basis of the resource plan by identifying the skill sets, timelines, and capacity requirements for successful delivery of the scoped work.

ProjectOfferings

A Project Offering represents a distinct scope or phase of work within a Project. Each Project Offering contains resource plans, financial models, and revenue data, allowing organizations to model different work types and billing structures within a single project. Offerings help align sales, delivery, and operations teams around specific scopes of work and resourcing needs.

Operations

Projects

A Project represents a distinct engagement or scope of work that the organization is delivering for a Client. Projects serve as containers for Project Offerings.

Operations

Stages

A Pipeline Stage represents a single stage within the Pipeline, mapping directly to the stages defined in the system. Pipeline Stages allow for real-time visibility into opportunity status and expected resource demand throughout the sales process.

Operations

Tags

A Tag is a flexible metadata label used to categorize and filter entities such as People, Projects, and Project Offering Roles. Tags support custom grouping, reporting, and segmentation across multiple areas of the platform, enabling organizations to adapt Parallax to their internal business structures and workflows.

Timesheet Entries represent time recorded within the Parallax Timesheets service, including additional properties related approval state.
