Apps are created for use in Micromine Geobank by Micromine developers. Different Apps apply to different modules. New Apps are made available to Clients who are part of Micromine’s AL or subscription programs. Apps are accessed through the customer portal which provides details on each App’s purpose and pre-requisites.
