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.
-
Go to System Configuration, and click System Settings.
-
Click General System Settings from the list.
-
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)
-
-
Enter the desired display name into each field.
-
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.
