# Basic Settings

https://docs.wisecp.com/de/basic-settings

Set your company's identity and contact details: name, address, phone and email, support hours, office locations, the contact form, and social links, all shown on your public site.

## Opening the Screen

Open **Settings › General**, then choose the **Basic** tab: `{admin}/settings?general=basic`

## What Is on the Screen

One form holds every field below a single **Save** button. Most text fields carry a language strip above them: it opens with your primary language plus any language that already has content, and a **+** lets you open others.

## Fields

### Company Details

- **Company Name**: Your company's official name. Optional, set per language.
- **Company Information**: Optional official details such as tax number, tax office, or registration number.
- **Company Address**: Shown on the contact page. Optional.

### Contact Information

- **Contact Email**: Email addresses shown on the contact page. Type an address and press Enter to turn it into a tag, and drag tags to reorder them.
- **Contact Phone Number**: Phone numbers shown on the contact page. Type a number and press Enter to turn it into a tag, and drag tags to reorder them.
- **Support Hours Summary**: A short heading for your support hours on the contact page, for example "24/7 for urgent issues".
- **Support Hours Details**: A longer line explaining your support hours, for example which team answers on which days.
- **Offices**: Offices listed on the contact page, each with a city, address, phone number, and hours. Only one office per language can be marked as the head office; marking a new one clears the previous mark. Set separately per language.

### Contact Form and Map

- **Contact Form**: Shows the contact form on the contact page. On by default.
- **Require a phone number**: Makes the phone number field mandatory on the contact form. Off by default.
- **Show a map**: Shows a map on the contact page and reveals the Map Embed Code field below it. On by default.
- **Map Embed Code**: The embed code for your map (for example from Google Maps). Only shown while Show a Map is on.

### Social Links

- **Social Links**: Social media links shown on your site; each row takes an icon, a platform name, and a URL. Click the + button to add a row.

## Tasks

### Update your company details

1. Open **Settings › General › Basic**.
2. Edit the fields you need. To fill in another language, open its tab with the **+** above the field.
3. Click **Save**. The new details appear on the contact page right away.

### Add an office

1. In **Offices**, pick the language you're adding it for, then click **Add Office**.
2. Fill in the city, address, phone, and hours; tick **Head office** if this one leads.
3. Click **Save**. The office appears in the contact page's office list.

## Things to Watch

> **A language you never open stays untouched**
> 
> If you don't open a language's tab, whatever was already saved for that language is left exactly as it was.

> **Only one head office per language**
> 
> Checking Head office on a new row automatically unchecks it on any other row in that language.

## Required Privileges

Opening **Settings › General** and viewing and saving the Basic tab both need `SETTINGS_INFORMATIONS_CONFIGURE`.
