### **Managing the Organizations Tab**

This guide covers how to find, activate, and configure organizations under your settings.

### Finding an Organization

1. Go to Settings > Organizations.
2. Browse the list, which includes governing bodies and local organizations listed alphabetically, with commonly used organizations pinned near the top.
3. To search instead of scrolling, press Cmd+F (or Ctrl+F on Windows) and type the organization's name (for example, "Canadian Pony Club").
4. If you can't find an organization you're looking for, contact the Horse Spot team and let us know, we're also actively working on improving search on this page.

### Activating an Organization

1. Find the organization you want to activate.
2. Click the toggle to turn it on.
3. Check or uncheck the box for whether you want Horse Spot to provide verifications for this organization.
4. Choose how you'd like to handle online entries from the dropdown: Optional (default, no warnings even if info is missing), Required (entry can't be submitted without the info), or Suggested (notified about missing info but can still submit).

### Deactivating an Organization

1. Find the organization you want to turn off.
2. Click the toggle again to deactivate it.

### Understanding Organization-Specific Callouts

1. Look for an information block under the organization's name.
2. For USEF, note that enabling it automatically generates a USEF entry blank for each entry.
3. For USHJA, note that if you don't provide a competition number and year, USEF will be used instead when exporting results.
4. Look for an asterisk next to any field, this marks it as required information (for example, required for USEF, optional for USHJA).

### Saving Your Changes

1. Once you've made your updates, click the blue Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.
2. Confirm your changes were saved before navigating away.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.horsespot.com/product-docs/show-settings-and-fees/affiliates-and-organizations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
