The name of this feature varies based on how your AWARDS database is configured, and will be found under Administration > System Setup > Agency Program Information as either Agency Information or Continuum Provider Agency Information. It is used to collect additional information about the agency or division as a whole, and should be set once per division (in divisional databases) and once per agency (in non-divisional databases).
