Where is it?

Setup > Company information

When is it used?

When you sign up, although you can edit and view it at any time.

Why is it used?

Company Information allows you to present your identity and to broadly monitor and reference it. This topic matters when taking a look into information that may be needed or making sure your org isn’t hitting any limits.

How is it used?

Use Case

I need to set up Scout Magnolia Enterprises and view the information associated with my org for reference

Steps Taken

Pretty straightforward here. Just edited the information to what was relevant.

Conclusion

• Company Information is a great place for reference and to keep your business identity fully current.
• I should get Tito a reposado.
