# General settings

> How to configure your organization's basic settings.

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

<Info>
  Setting the correct timezone is important. All appointment times, booking page slots, and reminders are based on your organization's timezone.

## Appointment form customization

You can hide certain sections of the appointment form if your business doesn't use them:

* **Customer** — hide the customer selection field
* **Employees** — hide the employee assignment field
* **Location** — hide the location selection field
* **Appointment type** — hide the appointment type selection field

This helps simplify the appointment creation process for your team.
