In the **General** tab, you can configure information about your organization, including basic information, date formats, and user management defaults.
To configure your organization's general settings:
1. From the left sidebar, select **Admin**.
2. From the sub-menu, select **General** if not already pre-selected.
3. Update your company information. See below for details
4. Select **Save** to save your changes.
## Basic org info
- **Org name** - The name of your organization. It will appear at the top of the account at all times.
- **Org URL **- The subdomain of your organization, delineated by dashes. It will be used in your charthop url.
- **Org phone number** - The main phone number for your organization.
## Branding
These colors and logos will be used throughout the app to make it feel more algined with your organization. It will be used on:
1. Home page
2. ChartHop mobile app
3. Profile page *(with *[Refreshed Profile Page](docId\:o3B_VFOrEX4xyANSdlkvx)* turned on)*
### Branding recommendations
- **Primary brand color **— This will be used as a background on the home page and mobile app. We suggest selecting a brand color that is will look good as a compliment to your logo. Often this is a dark color or off white.
- **Secondary brand color **— This color is currently not used by default, but more options of how to use this color will come in the future.
- **Square logo **— This logo will appear in the top right corner of your ChartHop account and many other places. We suggest you add a logo where a color other than white takes up the entire square. Circular logos or logos with clear backgrounds are not recommend. The recommended size is 200x200 or 100x100 pixels.
- **Horizontal logo **— This logo will primarily be used set against your primary brand color so make sure they work together well. We recommend a logo with a transparent background. For example, the white ChartHop logo set against dark purple. Any logo larger than 100 pixels tall should look great.
### Tips on finding your company's branding
1. Check your intranet, internal resources or your marketing team.
1. Ask for *"A brand background color and a logo that would look good on top of that color. For example, a dark purple background and a white logo."*
2. Check your company website for a brand guidelines page.
3. Check your company LinkedIn or social media page for square logos. Right-click and "Save image as" then upload that image.
4. Search for your company on [Brandfetch](https://brandfetch.com/).
## Date and time
- **Date format** - The date format that is used throughout your organization.
- **Org start date** - The official date on which your organization was established.
## Notifications
- **Where should the notifications for all employees be sent by default?** - Sets the default notification settings for your organization. Do you want notifications to go to [Slack](docId\:QSduVgxe4FMcnAHbrlXen) or [ Microsoft Teams](docId\:vPQLlIhmQkRASvIcUeOpA) by default or to email?
