General settings control how your CalGest workspace looks and behaves. Access them from Settings > General.
Organization details
- Organization name — your business name, shown throughout the app and to customers
- Customer type — whether your business serves individual consumers (B2C) or other businesses (B2B)
- Timezone — the timezone used for scheduling and notifications
Setting the correct timezone is important. All appointment times, booking page slots, and reminders are based on your organization’s timezone.
