People, projects and jobs

People

People are users/accounts in Plint. They could represent and in-house resource or an outside freelancer, a project manager or a client contact representing a company. They could also be a vendor – a company providing a service. 

Projects

A project in Plint is something that needs to be done: typically media in need of localization. The project serves as a container for all the information about the project, such as number of episodes and their running times, the source language and the target languages. 

Jobs

A job is something that needs to be in order for a Project to be completed. A typical job as a translation job assigned to a freelancer, or preparatory work assigned to a project manager. But it may also be an automated task represented as a job in the workflow: a process.
