Get these right first, and everything else falls into place. ### Getting There 1. Click **Settings** (cog icon) in the left sidebar. 2. Select **Overview** from the settings menu. ![Image 11-08-2026 at 4.51 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2011-08-2026%20at%204.51%20PM.jpeg?width=670&height=363&name=Image%2011-08-2026%20at%204.51%20PM.jpeg) --- ### Company Name - Enter your **Company Name** in the text field at the top left. This name appears across the app, on reports, and in employee-facing screens. - Enter your company's **Website** URL (e.g. `https://example.com`) in the field beside it. ![Image 11-08-2026 at 4.55 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2011-08-2026%20at%204.55%20PM.jpeg?width=670&height=363&name=Image%2011-08-2026%20at%204.55%20PM.jpeg) --- ### Timezone - Select your company's **Timezone** from the dropdown directly below the company name. - Start typing to search — timezones are grouped by region. - This ensures all clock-ins, shifts, and reports reflect the correct local time. --- ### Company Logo & Theme Colour Your logo and theme colour appear side by side on the Overview page. ### Company Logo Upload your company logo so it appears in the sidebar navigation for all users. #### To upload a logo 1. Under **Company Logo**, click **Choose File**. 2. Select an image file (**png**, **jpg**, or **webp**). 3. The logo appears in the sidebar next to your company name. #### To replace a logo - Click the **upload** icon next to the current logo preview. - Select a new image file. #### To remove a logo - Click the **delete** icon next to the current logo preview. - The sidebar will revert to the default Timecloud logo. ### Theme Colour Customise the look of your Timecloud account by choosing a theme colour. This colour is applied across buttons, tabs, icons, charts, and other UI elements throughout the app. #### To change your theme colour 1. Under **Theme Colour**, click the coloured square to open the colour picker. 2. Choose a colour from the preset palette, or enter a custom hex code (e.g. `#005090`). 3. The app preview updates instantly so you can see how it looks. 4. Click **Save Changes** to apply the colour permanently. ![Image 11-08-2026 at 5.00 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2011-08-2026%20at%205.00%20PM.jpeg?width=670&height=328&name=Image%2011-08-2026%20at%205.00%20PM.jpeg) #### Available preset colours - Timecloud Blue, Deep Red, Deep Green, Deep Purple, Deep Teal, Deep Orange, Deep Grey, Saddle Brown, Dark Slate Blue, Deep Magenta, Dark Olive, and Navy. #### Mobile app branding - Your theme colour is automatically applied to the Timecloud mobile app as well. Employees will see your company's branding on the tab bar, buttons, and highlights throughout the mobile experience. - The colour is applied the next time an employee opens or logs in to the mobile app — no action is needed from them. - On shared or kiosk devices, the branding resets to default Timecloud blue when a user logs out, so the next person always sees the correct company colours. #### Good to know - If you leave the page without saving, the colour reverts to your last saved choice. - Text colour on buttons and highlighted elements automatically adjusts for readability (white or black) based on the colour you pick. - You only need to set the theme colour once — it applies to both the web app and the mobile app from the same setting. --- ### Primary Contact Add a primary contact person for your company: - **Contact first name** and **Contact last name** — the name of your main point of contact. - **Contact email** — their email address. - **Contact mobile phone** — select a country from the flag dropdown, then enter the phone number. The field validates international format automatically. ![Image 11-08-2026 at 5.01 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2011-08-2026%20at%205.01%20PM.jpeg?width=670&height=189&name=Image%2011-08-2026%20at%205.01%20PM.jpeg) --- ### Legal Entity (Australian Companies) If your company is based in Australia, additional fields appear for your legal entity details: - **Legal business name** — your registered business name. - **Legal business number (ABN)** — your Australian Business Number. - **Legal branch code** — your branch code, if applicable. - **Legal contact name** — the name of the legal contact person. - **Legal phone** — select a country from the flag dropdown and enter the phone number. ![Image 11-08-2026 at 5.03 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2011-08-2026%20at%205.03%20PM.jpeg?width=670&height=242&name=Image%2011-08-2026%20at%205.03%20PM.jpeg) ### Legal Address Enter your registered business address: - **Address line 1** and **Address line 2** - **City** and **State/region** - **Post code** and **Country** **![Image 11-08-2026 at 5.03 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2011-08-2026%20at%205.03%20PM.jpeg?width=670&height=242&name=Image%2011-08-2026%20at%205.03%20PM.jpeg)** --- ### Contract Types Contract types let you categorise employees (e.g. Casual, Permanent, Full-Time). ### To add a contract type 1. Click **Add Contract Type**. 2. Enter the **Contract Name** and select the **Contract Type**. 3. Click **Save**. ![Image 11-08-2026 at 5.05 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2011-08-2026%20at%205.05%20PM.jpeg?width=670&height=354&name=Image%2011-08-2026%20at%205.05%20PM.jpeg) ### To archive a contract type - Click the **edit** icon next to any contract type to update it. - Click the **archive** icon to archive types you no longer need. - Toggle **Show Archive** to view and restore archived types. --- ### Departments (Groups) Departments help you organise employees into teams, locations, or any hierarchy that fits your business. ### To enable departments 1. Toggle the departments switch **on**. 2. A tree editor appears where you can add, rename, or drag-and-drop groups. ### To rename the label - Update the **Groups Name** field to change the label (e.g. from "Groups" to "Departments" or "Locations"). ### Attendance Filtering Level - Use the **Attendance Filtering Level** dropdown to control how attendance records are filtered by group membership. ### New group visibility - Choose who can see a newly created group from the dropdown: - **All Admins** - **All admins with access to the parent group** - **The admin who created the group** ### Independent selection - If available, toggle **Independent selection** on so that selecting a parent group does not automatically select its children. ### Competency visibility bypass - Toggle **Allow admins to view competencies for all users** on to let all admins **view** competency records for every employee, regardless of their department restrictions. - When enabled, admins can see competencies across all departments, but can only **edit** or **delete** records for employees within their assigned departments. - This toggle only appears when the Competency module is enabled. - Only Company Admins can enable or disable this setting. --- ### Saving Your Changes - Click **Save Changes** at the bottom of the page. - The button is only active when you have unsaved changes and all fields are valid. --- ### Tips - Set your timezone early — changing it later does not retroactively adjust existing records. - Keep contract types simple and consistent. They appear in employee profiles and reports. - Use the department tree to mirror your real-world structure. You can always reorganise later by dragging groups. - Choose a theme colour that matches your brand — it makes the app feel like your own. - Phone number fields support international formats — pick the country flag to set the dial code, then enter the local number. - Australian companies should complete the **Legal Entity** and **Legal Address** sections — these are required before you can send preboarding packages to AU employees. - [Account & Security](https://help.jointimecloud.com/account-security?hsLang=en) - [Attendance & Timesheets](https://help.jointimecloud.com/attendance-timesheets?hsLang=en) - [Award Interpretation](https://help.jointimecloud.com/award-interpretation?hsLang=en) - [Biometric Scanners](https://help.jointimecloud.com/biometric-scanners?hsLang=en) - [Employees](https://help.jointimecloud.com/employees?hsLang=en) - [Forms & Checklists](https://help.jointimecloud.com/forms-checklists?hsLang=en) - [Geofencing](https://help.jointimecloud.com/geofencing?hsLang=en) - [Human Resources](https://help.jointimecloud.com/human-resources?hsLang=en) - [Integrations](https://help.jointimecloud.com/integrations?hsLang=en) - [Job Tracking](https://help.jointimecloud.com/job-tracking?hsLang=en) - [Leave Management](https://help.jointimecloud.com/leave-management?hsLang=en) - [Mobile App](https://help.jointimecloud.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Kiosk](https://help.jointimecloud.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en#kiosk) - [Payroll](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Xero](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#xero) - [iPayroll](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#ipayroll) - [MYOB](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#myob) - [Smartly](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#smartly) - [Reporting](https://help.jointimecloud.com/reporting?hsLang=en) - [Roster](https://help.jointimecloud.com/roster?hsLang=en) - [Settings](https://help.jointimecloud.com/settings?hsLang=en) - [Shifts](https://help.jointimecloud.com/shifts?hsLang=en) - [Time Clock](https://help.jointimecloud.com/time-clock?hsLang=en) - [Dashboard](https://help.jointimecloud.com/dashboard?hsLang=en) Service Desk Copyright © 2025, Timecloud Ltd
