Guide: Set Your Organization Name and Manage Holidays in Standupify

Standupify's Organization settings page allows administrators to easily manage the organization's name and define company-wide holidays. Configuring holidays is crucial as it tells the Standupify Google Chat bot to automatically suspend daily standup requests on those dates, ensuring your team isn't bothered on non-working days.

Prerequisites

• You must have Organization Administrator privileges in Standupify.
• Access to your Standupify web application.

Step-by-Step Guide to Organization Settings

1. Access Organization Settings

2. Update Your Organization Name

1. On the 'Organisation' page, locate the section titled 'Organization'.
2. Find the input field labeled 'Organization name'. It might be pre-filled with your current organization name (e.g., 'Projectli').
3. Enter or update the desired name for your organization in this field. This name will be applied as a default for all teams and general organizational settings.

3. Add Company-Wide Holidays

This is where you prevent the Standupify bot from sending check-in requests on non-working days.

2. To add a new holiday:
   1. Use the date picker (which might show a date like '25 Mar') to select the specific date for the holiday. Click the calendar icon next to the date picker if needed.
   2. In the adjacent text input field (with placeholder 'Enter Holiday name'), type the name of the holiday (e.g., 'Public Holiday', 'Company Picnic Day').
   3. Click the blue '+' button to add the holiday to the list below.
3. Repeat this process for all national, public, or custom company-specific holidays you wish to add.

4. Save Your Changes

1. After making all desired changes to your organization name and holiday list, scroll to the bottom of the page.
