Currently, a Listing Page can be created to add Contacts together in title, or card-style format. We also allow listing pages to show contacts in a Map format, where, if a Contact has a Location associated with it, the map is auto-generated and displayed on Google Maps.

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.

Many fields are optional. They may not be relevant based on the required or available information.

Note that there is a possibility to attach a location (such as a physical office or a mailing address) to a contact, so you may first want to create a location (again, this is optional).

When you have finished creating the contact, make sure to save changes.
