Learn how to use Opportunities to manage multiple scopes, phases, or locations — all within a single project container in Parspec.

Opportunities let you manage multiple scopes, phases, or locations within a single project — keeping all related BOMs, quotes, and due dates organized in one place.

1.Create a Project and Edit Opportunities Tab

  1. From your dashboard, click Create Project.

  2. Click into the Opportunities tab.

  3. You'll see a default entry called Opportunity 1 — this is your starting point.

2. Set Up Your First Opportunity

  1. Update the Opportunity title to reflect the scope (e.g. "Lighting").

  2. Select a Scope from the dropdown.

  3. Assign a Quote Owner — it defaults to the person creating the project.

  4. Assign a Project Manager if different from the quote owner.

  5. Enter a Due Date for this opportunity.

  6. Set the Stage for this opportunity.

Tip: Each opportunity tracks its own quote owner, due date, and stage independently — so different team members can own different scopes within the same project.

3.Add Additional Opportunities

  1. Click Add Another Opportunity to create a second scope.

  2. Update the title, scope, owner, due date, and stage for the new opportunity.

  3. Repeat for as many opportunities as needed.

Tip: Opportunities can represent scopes (Lighting, Gear), phases (Phase 1, Phase 2), or locations — use whatever structure matches how your team tracks work.

4. Create a Project and Create BOMs Inside Each Opportunity

  1. Click Create Project once all opportunities are set up.

  2. Click into each opportunity to create its Bill of Material.

  3. Each opportunity holds its own BOMs, quotes, and deliverables.

Note: BOMs and quotes created inside an opportunity belong only to that opportunity — work does not carry across opportunities automatically.

5. Edit Opportunities After It's Created

  1. Click the arrow to the right of the opportunity name.

  2. Edit the title, scope, owner, due date, or stage in the right-hand sidebar.

  3. Changes save automatically.
