Overview
The company profile holds the identity of your account: the company details that appear on documents your clients receive, and the branding and appearance settings that shape the interface. It is the first step in every edition's onboarding checklist because later configuration and documents depend on it.
Configure it before you send your first estimate, proposal, contract or invoice.
How It Works
Company and branding configuration is grouped into four settings areas. You complete the company record first, then adjust appearance, application-level preferences and any custom links you want to expose.
Company details → Theme → App settings → Custom links → Verify on a document
- Company holds your organisation's own details. These details are used where CrmLeaf presents your business, including the public pages clients open for estimates, proposals, contracts and invoices.
- Theme controls the appearance of the interface.
- App holds application-level preferences for the account.
- Custom link lets you expose additional links for your account.
- Notifications your account sends, including budget threshold alerts, are sent using your company's own branding and its configured mail settings.
- Settings apply to the whole Company and therefore to all of its Organizations.
Who Can Use This Feature?
Administrator

This functionality is available only to Administrators.

Step 1: Complete the company record

What to verify: The saved company name appears in the interface and no validation messages remain.
Step 2: Set the theme
What to do: Adjust the appearance settings for the account and Save.
What to verify: Reload a screen and confirm the appearance change is applied.
Step 3: Review application settings
What to do: Review the application-level preferences for the account and Save any change.
What to verify: The behaviour you changed takes effect for a test user.
Step 4: Add custom links if required
What to do: Add the links your account needs and Save.
What to verify: The link is reachable for the users who need it.
Step 5: Check the result on a client-facing document
What to do: Open the public page or PDF of an existing estimate or invoice and check that your company details and branding appear as intended.
What to verify: The company name, contact details and logo are correct on the document a client would receive.
Field and Option Reference
| Field / Option | Description | Required |

Expected Result
Your company details, logo and appearance settings are saved for the account, and the documents your clients open show your business correctly.
Important Notes
- Menu names and their position can differ between product editions and can be customised for your account, so your sidebar may not match these paths exactly. Use Search or your Quick Access items if you cannot find a screen.
- Company settings apply to the entire Company, including all of its Organizations. There is no separate branding per Organization.
- Completing the profile is the first step in every edition's onboarding checklist. Do it before configuring currency, tax and invoice settings.
- Per-company subdomains for white-label hosting are provided by the Subdomain add-on module. Confirm it is included in your plan before promising a branded address.
- Email sent by your account uses your own mail configuration. Configure it in notification and SMTP settings.
Common Scenarios
Example: preparing to invoice. A new account completes the company record and uploads a logo, then configures currency, tax and invoice settings. The first invoice sent to a client shows the correct legal name, address and logo on the public payment page.
Example: a rebrand. The company changes its trading name. The Administrator updates the company record and logo once; documents generated afterwards use the new details.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Client-facing documents show the wrong company details | The company record was not completed or not saved | Complete the company record and Save, then re-open the document. |
| The logo does not appear | No logo has been uploaded for the account | Upload the logo in company settings. |
| Settings screens are not available | You are not signed in as an Administrator | Ask an Administrator to make the change. |
| An appearance change is not visible | The change was not saved | Re-open theme settings, confirm the value and Save. |
