Setup wizard

After you confirm your email, mizuiro walks you through a short wizard so the rest of the app fits the way your company actually runs. You only see this once. Most of the choices here can be adjusted later from the Settings area, so don’t agonize over any one question; the only one that really locks in for the long term is called out at the bottom.

What the wizard asks for

Company name and a short description.
Tier labels: what you call your three role tiers.
Work week: which days count as working days for your team.
Recovery codes: eight single-use codes you save somewhere safe.
Supervisor scope: whether supervisors act on everyone or only on the people in their teams.

We’ll walk through what each one means, what’s configurable later, and what isn’t.

Company name

Configurable from Settings → Company at any time.

Tier labels

mizuiro has three role tiers built in. By default they’re called Manager, Supervisor, and Employee, but you can rename them to fit your organization’s vocabulary. Director / Lead / Associate works. Partner / Manager / Team member works. If your company uses something unusual internally, use that here.

Configurable from Settings → Company at any time. A rename flows through the entire app immediately. Existing records keep working; they just pick up the new label.

Work week

The work week tells mizuiro which days count as “working” for things like overdue calculations, the Today widget on the dashboard, and the default range on filters. Monday to Friday is the default and fits most teams.

This doesn’t restrict who’s allowed to work when. An employee can have a schedule that includes Saturdays without any issue. The setting just tells mizuiro which days are “normal” for company-wide views.

Configurable from Settings → Company at any time. A change takes effect immediately for new calculations.

Recovery codes

mizuiro generates eight single-use recovery codes for your company. These are your last-resort way back in if everyone with a manager account loses their 2FA device at the same time. Save them somewhere offline, like a password manager or a safe, and don’t share them around.

The recovery codes screen. Save these somewhere offline before clicking Continue, since this is the only time the wizard shows them all in one place.

Regeneratable from Settings → Security → Recovery codes. The old codes stop working as soon as new ones are generated, so treat regeneration the same way you’d treat changing a master password.

Supervisor scope (the permanent one)

This is the one wizard question that genuinely cannot be changed later, and it’s worth pausing on. There are two settings:

Assigned: supervisors act on the people in their assigned teams only. A supervisor leading the Sales team can manage Sales people, not the Engineering team.
Shared: all supervisors can act on everyone in the company. Best for smaller companies where the supervisor layer functions more like a manager layer.

The whole point of having an “assigned” scope is to keep supervisors out of management actions on people they don’t lead. That matters most when an employee gets promoted, moves to a different team, or gets involved in something sensitive that needs to stay with the right supervisor and you.

If the scope could be toggled from “assigned” to “shared” later, every supervisor would gain authority over every employee in one click. Toggling back to “assigned” wouldn’t undo whatever actions or notes happened in the meantime. So the cleanest path is the one that protects your team’s privacy by default: asking you to make this choice once with everything in mind, and then keeping it locked.

We thought about confidentiality at every step when we built this and decided this was the right tradeoff.

Warning

Pick deliberately, then move on. If you’re genuinely not sure, assigned is the safer default. It keeps the scope narrow now, and you can always give individual supervisors broader reach by adding them to more teams as needed. Going the other direction, starting with shared and trying to narrow later, is the case that doesn’t work.

What the wizard doesn’t ask

The wizard intentionally keeps the runway short. It doesn’t ask which modules to turn on, it doesn’t have you invite your team, and it doesn’t get into the audit log or security settings. All of that lives on the Settings page when you’re ready, and all of it has good defaults so mizuiro is available straight out of the wizard.
