The following fields are available on this screen:

Field	Description
Abbrev	This is the abbreviation used for your organization in the DDI Connect menu. Do not change this abbreviation unless otherwise directed to do so by DDI staff
Name	Your organization name
Address	Your organization's mailing address
Time zone	The time zone to use for time stamps within the system. Click the drop down arrow to select the time zone for your organization

Update lock	The update lock is enforced during job processing, to prevent certain financial transactions from being entered. There are times when someone forgets to unlock the system after processing. You can uncheck this box to unlock the system and allow financial updates
Business date	The business date is the current business day, as used for DDI Connect purposes. At the beginning of job processing, the business date is usually changed to reflect the next business date. Changing this date outside of job processing can have serious ramifications on your data, so it is not recommended that you change this date unless otherwise instructed to do so by DDI staff
Process date	The process date is the date that the system uses for processing purposes. During periodic job processing, this date is usually advanced to the next date once processing is complete. Changing this date outside of job processing can have serious ramifications on your data, so it is not recommended that you change this date unless otherwise instructed to do so by DDI staff
Startup menu	If your organization has a custom startup menu, that information can be added here. A DDI Support member should provide this information
Databases	This field displays the databases associated with your organization, if applicable. This information should NOT be modified by anyone other than a DDI staff member

When you have finished making any desired changes, click OK to save them.
