Note! These settings are not frequently used! Typically these are set up once, and do not need to be changed.
The "Site Settings" tab, which has limited availability to authors with the role of Agency Manager, allows for multiple Agency-wide settings to be inputted, including: Site Name and secondary name, Logo (ie the Agency Seal), Google Search Engine code, and Google Tag Manager code.
The Homepage is also dependent on there being a Google Search Console variable. The checkbox below controls a search box showing on the landing homepage or not.
Log in to your site
You can login to your site from login.iowa.gov
Everyone on your agency team who contributes to your website has a specific user role. These roles determine permissions, such as who can edit, review, and publish content. If needed, you can request a role change or remove a role by submitting a service now support ticket.
Navigate to Site Settings
On the top menu towards the far right is a "Site Settings" tab. Click this to open the three available options: Agency Settings, Design Settings, and Third Party Integrations, and select one.
Agency Settings
Set the Site Name and the Site Slogan.

The Site Slogan is optional text that appears above the site name in the header, such as "Creating Economic Opportunities for all Iowans"
The checkbox to "Enable homepage search" turns "on" a hero search box, on your landing page.
Confirm your changes in an incognito window
To check your changes, we always recommend viewing a page, in an "incognito" window. An incognito window is what the general public (not-logged-in, not-Drupal users), views.
Chrome: Open an Incognito Window:
The easiest way to open an Incognito window is with the keyboard shortcut combination Ctrl-Shift-N (Windows) or Command-Shift-N (macOS).
Another way is to click on the menu on the upper right - it's the three vertical dots - and select New Incognito Window from the list.
Edge: Open an Incognito Window:
At the keyboard, the combination of Ctrl-Shift-N (Windows) or Command-Shift-N (macOS) opens an InPrivate window.
A slower way to get there is to click on the menu at the upper right -- it's three dots arranged horizontally -- and choose New InPrivate Window from the menu.
FireFox: Open an Incognito Window:
From the keyboard, a private browsing session can be called up using the combination Ctrl-Shift-P (Windows) or Command-Shift-P (macOS).
Alternately, a private window will open from the menu at the upper right of Firefox -- three short horizontal lines -- after selecting New private window.
