Customization

Make Mich match your vocabulary, your required fields and your way of working.

Mich ships with sensible defaults, not fixed ones. Four kinds of change need no consultant:

Custom fields for data Mich has no field for.
Drop-down values so its vocabulary matches yours.
Required fields to enforce your own minimum standard.
Dashboard layout, so the home page shows what you actually use.
