# Primary settings

> Set your project name and slug — the subdomain your public portal lives at.

Primary settings define your project's identity and public address. They live in the **Primary** accordion of the project settings panel.

<Note>
  Open the panel from `/dashboard` — click the gear icon on a project card to **Edit project**, or **Add project** when creating a new one.

## Validation rules

| Rule        | Error message                                                          |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name empty  | Name is required                                                       |
| Name length | Name must be at least 1 character / Name must be 32 characters or less |
| Slug empty  | Slug cannot be empty                                                   |
| Slug length | Slug must be 32 characters or less                                     |
| Slug format | Slug must contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens         |

Slugs are automatically lowercased as you type. Reserved slugs such as `www`, `dashboard`, and `docs` are blocked.

If you choose a slug that already exists, Bettter returns **"A project with this slug already exists. Please choose a different slug."**

## Your portal URL

Once saved, your public portal is available at:

```
{slug}.bettter.app
```

Changing the slug updates your portal address. Update any bookmarks or embed scripts that reference the old URL.
