Organization

Org Configuration

Set up your organization's profile, logo, and workflow automation, and navigate the reorganized Settings area.

The Org Configuration page is where you set your organization's identity — name, domain, logo, and operating details — and turn on the workflow automations that keep work items in sync as your teams move them around.

Accessing Settings

Organization settings are available only to roles whose permissions include access to organization settings — by default the Admin and Owner roles.

Log in to your DevStride account.
In the left sidebar, click Configure Settings (the gear icon near the bottom). This entry only appears if you have admin access.
You'll land on the Configure Settings area, which opens to Org Configuration by default.

Restricted to roles with settings access

Configure Settings appears only for roles whose permissions include access to organization settings — by default the Admin and Owner roles. If your role doesn't include it, the Configure Settings entry won't appear in your sidebar, and any direct link to a settings page will send you back to your account. (Roles are configurable in Configure Settings → Permissions.)

Navigating the Settings area

The Settings area uses a collapsible left-hand navigation panel. Settings are grouped under headers that you expand and collapse to reduce clutter and find things faster:

Organization — Org Configuration, Users, Teams, Permissions, Database Access
Data Model — Item Types, Priority Levels, Statuses & WIP Limiters, Tags, Custom Fields, Effort Point Estimation, Time Estimation
Other — Workspace Tab Order, Sidebar Field Order, Cadences, Item Request Forms, Import History
Integrations — Credentials, GitHub, Slack
Subscription — Subscription Tier, Billing Details, Payment Method, Billing History

Click any group header to expand it; click it again to collapse it. The caret next to each header points down when the group is open and sideways when it's collapsed.

One group open at a time

The Settings navigation behaves like an accordion: opening a group automatically closes any other group that was open, so only one group is expanded at a time. As you move between pages, the group that contains the page you're viewing expands on its own — for example, opening Org Configuration expands the Organization group for you.

To edit your organization's profile, expand the Organization group and select Org Configuration.

Editing your organization's profile

The Org Configuration page is split into two columns: a Profile panel on the left for your organization's identity, and a Workflow Automation panel on the right for sync and automation behaviors.

No save button — changes save automatically

There is no save button on this page. Every field saves on its own: text fields (Name and Domain) save when you click away from them, and the logo and dropdown selections save the moment you change them. When a change is stored, a brief Updated confirmation with a check mark appears next to the field.

Profile panel

Fill in the Profile panel with your organization's information:

Logo — Click Upload Logo and choose an image from your computer. The logo saves as soon as you select it.
Name — Enter your organization's name. Saves when you click out of the field.
Domain — Enter your organization's web domain (for example, devstride.com). The value is validated as a domain; if it isn't a valid domain you'll see an Invalid indicator, and a valid entry shows Updated once saved.
Timezone — Choose the timezone your organization operates in from the searchable dropdown.
Industry — Choose one or more industries that describe your organization. This is a multi-select dropdown, so you can pick several.
Size — Select your organization's size by employee count. Options are 1-9, 10-49, 50-99, 100-499, and 500+.
Methodology — Choose one or more methodologies your organization uses. This is a multi-select dropdown. Options include Scrum, Kanban, Agile, Scaled Agile, Continuous, Extreme Programming, Waterfall, Lean, SAFe, and Other.

Workflow Automation panel

The Workflow Automation panel controls how DevStride handles dates and statuses automatically as your teams work. Each option is a checkbox with a tip explaining what it does:

Sync work item dates with their cycles — When enabled, work items automatically take on their cycle's dates when you move them into a cycle.
Automate New/Done — When enabled, a parent item automatically moves from New to Done once all of its children are Done, and moves back to New if any child is no longer Done.
Enable Link Mode — When enabled, item actions propagate down the dependency chain. See Link Mode for how propagation works.

Each checkbox saves immediately when you toggle it.

Inviting users

The Invite Users button isn't on the Org Configuration page — it appears on the header bar when you're viewing the Users or Teams pages (under the Organization group). Open one of those pages to invite new members, enter their email addresses, and assign roles and permissions during the invitation.

Where to go next

From the Settings area you can continue configuring your organization:

Under Organization, manage Users, Teams, Permissions, and Database Access.
Under Data Model, configure Item Types, Priority Levels, Statuses & WIP Limiters, Tags, Custom Fields, and estimation settings.
Under Integrations, connect DevStride with tools like GitHub and Slack — select the integration you want and follow the setup steps.
Under Subscription, review your Subscription Tier, update Billing Details, change your Payment Method, and view your Billing History — see Subscription & Billing.

Item Hierarchy

See work in context in the Manage Items module by expanding and collapsing the parent–child hierarchy, rather than reading a flat list.

Users, Roles & MFA

Manage organization members, understand the Owner, Admin, and Member roles, and reset a user's multi-factor authentication when they lose access to their device.
