Under the section titled 'Header Configuration', the empty field or slot is used for what you would like the whole organization site to be titled.
The name you choose will appear at the header of all pages you create.
If you have uploaded an image for the header, this 'Organization Name' field is not used. Thus, you should include the organization's name as part of the header image if you choose this alternative.
