# Changing the Organization Name Displayed to Parkers

<p class="callout info">This feature allows administrators to update the organization's display name across the entire platform. Its primary purpose is to control the branding that appears on the public-facing parking portal, connected handheld units, and printed violation notices. This article is intended for OPS-COM administrators responsible for managing global system configurations and organizational branding.</p>

## Setup and Configuration

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

**Admin Side:** Administrators must have the appropriate system role permissions enabled to access the global system settings menus.

**User Side:** This feature is strictly a backend administrative configuration. End-users do not interact directly with this setting, but the configured name will automatically display on the parking portal when they log in or browse the site.

## Using this Feature

Administrators can use the following instructions to seamlessly update the organization name displayed on the web portal and on enforcement handheld units.

1. Hover over **System Configuration** and click **System Settings**.
2. Click **General System Settings** from the provided list.
3. Locate the **Organization Name: Website** field at the top of the page and enter the desired display name.
4. Locate the **Organization name: Handheld** field and enter the desired display name.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the **Save Changes** button.

<p class="callout info">The text entered into the **Organization Name: Website** field will appear directly on your public-facing user portal. The text entered into the **Organization name: Handheld** field will appear on your enforcement officers' handheld screens and on all violation notices printed from a handheld device.</p>

## <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">Best Practices and Considerations</span>

- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">**Understand global handheld configurations:** **The Organization name: Handheld setting is a global configuration.** The name you enter here will be displayed uniformly on all handheld units connected to your system. This setting cannot be changed manually on the individual handheld devices themselves.</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">**Verify public-facing spelling:** **Ensure the name is spelled correctly and reflects your official branding before saving.** Because the website name is a public-facing setting, any typographical errors will be immediately visible to all end-users on your portal.</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">**Maintain brand consistency:** **For brand consistency, it is highly recommended to keep the website and handheld names the same.** Do not configure different names unless your organization has a specific operational reason for displaying them differently to users versus field staff.</span>
