# Organization Settings and Management

### Overview

Organization settings define how work is governed inside an Organization. This includes Organization details, segmentation, and Project management patterns.

### Key Concepts

* **Organization details**: name and descriptive context used for search and reporting
* **Organization scope**: boundary for Segments and Segment Types
* **Organization-level access**: shared access across Projects (when enabled)

### How It’s Used

Use Organization settings during initial rollout. Use them when adding new Projects or updating governance.

### Benefits

* More consistent structure across Projects
* Cleaner reporting through shared segmentation
* Reduced access drift through scoped management

### Setup Steps

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the Organization

Navigate to **Organizations**. Select the Organization to manage.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Update Organization details

Update the Organization name and description when business structure changes. Keep names stable and human-searchable.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure segmentation (optional)

Define Segment Types and Segments for reporting and scoping.

* [Segmentation](/blueprints/segmentation.md)
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Manage Projects inside the Organization

Create new Projects for new initiatives. Archive Projects when delivery completes.

* [Create a Project](/getting-started/create-a-project.md)
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

### Best Practices

* Keep Organization names stable and avoid abbreviations.
* Use segmentation only for real business dimensions used for reporting.
* Standardize Project naming and section structure across related initiatives.

### Summary

Organization settings define governance patterns and reporting structure. Segmentation is managed at the Organization level.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.transform.ai/organizations-and-projects/organization-settings-and-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
