</Frame>

From this page, you can manage system URLs, business details, branding assets, and application preferences.

## Organization & Branding

The **Organization & Branding** section allows you to define your business identity and system configuration.

### System URLs

These URLs define how your SafariDesk instance is accessed:

* **System URL**\
  The main application URL used by your team
* **Support Portal URL**\
  The **Support Portal URL** is the customer-facing link where your users can interact with your support system. This is the page your customers will use to:
  * Submit support tickets
  * Access your Knowledge Base and help articles You can embed or link this URL directly on your website, for example, as a **“Submit a Ticket”** or **“Help Center”** button in your navigation, footer, or support page. This makes it easy for customers to reach your support system without needing direct assistance. For SafariDesk, a typical support portal might look like:\
    `https://yourworkspace.safaridesk.io/support`\\

  </Frame>
  From this portal, customers can:
  * Create new tickets
  * Browse help documentation and self-service resources 💡 **Best Practice:**\
    Make sure your Support Portal URL is correctly configured and publicly accessible before going live. Adding it prominently to your website improves customer experience and reduces support friction by enabling self-service.

### Business Information

* **Business Name** – Your company or workspace name
* **Support Email** – Primary email for customer communication
* **Support Phone** – Contact number for support (optional)

Keeping this information accurate ensures proper communication and time tracking.
