The custom text you want to be displayed in the Company Information area should be placed in the Text field. Alternatively, you could also pick one or more of the placeholder strings from the Text field drop down for this purpose. The available placeholder strings are #COMPANY#, #COMPANY_NAME# and #SYSTEM_NAME#.
The Based on Company option in the Color section will be selected by default. This will enable you to color the Company Information area based on the currently active company. Every time you change the active company, a new color configuration will be added to this section automatically. You may of course choose a text color and a background color from the dropdowns as per your preference.
If you wish the Company Information area to be colored based on the System name instead of the currently active company, select the Based on System option under the Color section.
