What a module is
Not every fit-out firm works the same way. A two-person studio that subcontracts everything has no use for a procurement module — and here, that is a setting, not a problem.
These are the modules. Each one is a whole area of the product: the board, the BOQ and costs, procurement, drawings, the wiki, the service desk.
A module switched on becomes a section in the sidebar and a set of screens the team can reach. Switched off, it is simply not there — greyed out for no one, because no one can see it.
What is on for this studio
Look at what is on for Mashrabeya today. They run procurement and they bill clients, so those stay. A studio that only designs would turn them off and the product would shrink to match.
This is also why a new starter sometimes cannot find a screen someone told them about: it is not hidden, it is switched off for the whole studio. The owner decides, once, what the firm actually does.
Turning a module off is reversible
Turning a module off does not delete the work inside it. Switch it back on next season and the BOQ you built is exactly where you left it.
The principle is the same one as roles, applied one level up: give the firm the parts of the product it really uses, and leave the rest off until you need it.
The habit that matters
The habit worth keeping: start narrow. Switch on only what this job needs, and add a module the day a real piece of work asks for it — not the day the brochure looks impressive.
