Changing the Organization Name Displayed to Parkers

This article describes how to change your organization's display name. This global setting updates the name that appears on the public-facing website and on the screen of all connected handheld units. It also controls the name that appears at the top of violation printouts.

Using this Feature

This is a core system setting and does not require any special configuration to access or modify.

  1. Go to System Configuration, and click System Settings.

  2. Click General System Settings from the list.

  3. Locate the following two fields at the top of the page:

    • Organization Name: Website  (This appears on your website)

    • Organization name: Handheld  (This appears on your handhelds, and violation notices printed with a handheld)

  4. Enter the desired display name into each field.

  5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save Changes button.

Best Practices & Considerations

  • The Organization name: Handheld setting is a global configuration. The name you enter here will be displayed on all handheld units connected to your system. This setting cannot be changed on the individual handheld devices themselves.
  • The Organization Name: Website is a public-facing setting. Ensure the name is spelled correctly and reflects your official branding before saving, as it will be visible to all end-users on your portal.
  • For brand consistency, it is recommended to keep the Website and Handheld names the same unless your organization has a specific reason for displaying them differently.
