General

Who can do thisPermission: settings ≥ 2

Settings → General holds your organisation’s display name and a read-only summary of its plan, seats and identity — the first place to check when something looks like it belongs to the wrong organisation.

What it is

General is the smallest section in Settings: one editable field (display name) and a read-only summary table (organisation ID, type, data region, plan, licensed seats, created date, and the portal build version you’re currently running). Everything else — logo, colours, capture rules — lives in its own dedicated section elsewhere in Settings.

How to do it

  1. Open Settings → General.
  2. Edit Display name and click Save — the new name appears everywhere in the portal and field app immediately.
  3. Use the summary table to check your organisation ID (quote it exactly if you ever contact support), plan tier, licensed seat count, data region, and portal version.
  4. If you administer more than one organisation, a card here (hidden for demo organisations) offers a shortcut to founding a further one, capped at five self-founded organisations per person.

How it integrates

The display name is the only field this section writes; every other row is read-only here because it changes elsewhere — plan and seats change under Settings → Billing, and data region and organisation ID are fixed at creation and never editable afterwards. The portal version shown corresponds to the build you’re actually running, useful to quote alongside a support request or when checking whether a recently released feature has reached your organisation yet.

Common problems

  • Save is disabled even though I typed a new name. The button only activates once the text differs from the current saved name and isn’t empty.
  • The organisation ID looks unfamiliar. It’s generated once at creation from your organisation’s name and never changes afterwards.
  • I can’t find where to change plan or seats. That’s under Settings → Billing, not General — General only shows those values, it doesn’t set them.
  • I don’t see the “found another organisation” card. It’s hidden entirely for demo organisations, and disappears once you already administer five organisations of your own.
