Set Up Your Organisation

Configuring your organisation's details and branding in Kinabase helps ensure that your workspace reflects your identity - both visually (via logos and brand colours) and operationally (with the correct date/time formats and registration info).

1. Access Organisation Details

1. Open Settings
   • Click your name or the cog at the bottom-left corner of Kinabase.
   • Select Settings from the menu.
2. Select 'Organisation Details'
   • Under Organisation, choose Organisation Details to view the main configuration page.

2. Fill in Basic Organisation Information

Within Organisation Details, you'll see fields

• Organisation Name: Displayed throughout Kinabase.
• Website: A direct link for reference.
• Country: Sets your default region settings.
• Phone Number & Registration Number: For official or legal references.
• Organisation Size: Choose the range that best represents your team's scale.

Having correct contact and registration details helps your team and potential auditors quickly verify organisational info.

3. Upload Your Company Logo

   • Click Upload Logo.

Showcasing a consistent brand fosters familiarity across your internal tools, especially helpful for larger teams or external stakeholders.

4. Date & Time Format

Below the logo section, you can set:

• Date Format: Day/Month/Year or Month/Day/Year.
• Time Format: 24-hour or 12-hour clock.

Align date/time formats with your regional norms to reduce confusion across global teams.
