Note! These settings are rarely used! Typically, these are set up once and do not need to be changed.
The "Site Settings" tab is for Agency Managers only. It lets them set important Agency-wide options, such as:
- Site Name and secondary name
- Logo (the Agency Seal)
- Google Search Engine code
- Google Tag Manager code
The Homepage uses a Google Search Console variable. The checkbox below decides if the search box appears on the homepage.
Log in to your site
You can login to your site from login.iowa.gov
Each person on your agency team has a specific user role for the website. These roles set permissions. They control who can edit, review, and publish content. You can ask for a role change or remove a role. Just submit a ServiceNow support ticket if you need help.
Navigate to Site Settings
On the top menu towards the far right is a "Site Settings" tab.
Click here to view three options:
- Agency Settings
- Design Settings
- Third Party Integrations
Choose one.
Agency Settings
Set the Site Name and the Site Slogan.
The Site Name is the overall name of the agency, such as Iowa Department of ________.
The Site Slogan is optional. It shows up above the site name in the header. For example, it might say, "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 recommend opening a page in an "incognito" window. An incognito window shows what the general public sees. This includes users who are not logged in or using Drupal.
Chrome: Open an Incognito Window:
To open an Incognito window, use Ctrl-Shift-N on Windows or Command-Shift-N on macOS.
Click the menu in the upper right, marked by three vertical dots. Then, choose "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.
Another way to get there is to click the menu at the upper right - three dots arranged horizontally - and choose New InPrivate Window from the menu.
FireFox: Open an Incognito Window:
To start a private browsing session, press Ctrl-Shift-P on Windows or Command-Shift-P on macOS.
You can also open a private window by clicking the menu in the upper right of Firefox. Look for three short horizontal lines and select "New private window."
