This article provides a checklist of the areas of your system that can be customised as part of your system setup.


Not all subscribers use every area of Equinox (e.g. the Finance section is not used by some subscribers), however this provides an idea of the options available to customise.


Feel free to print or copy this list to help you track your system setup.
