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.
Navigate to the Content tab
To add pages to your website, click the Content button. Make sure you're logged in for access to that tab.
You can sort your created pages using the filter button. To edit them, just select the edit button on the Content List page.
Example of Content List page:
Create a Contact content type
To create a new contact, go to the content button. From the drop-down, select the contact tab. Then, fill in the relevant fields.
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.
Create a Listing Page
To create a new Listing Page, follow these steps:
- Go to Content in the navigation bar.
- Click Add Content.
- Select Listing Page.
Options for creating a Listing Page include:
- Listing page of "Basic Pages" to collect and display Basic Pages.
- Listing page of "How Do I" to collect and display How Do I content.
- Listing page of "Events" to collect and display Events.
- Listing page of "News" to collect and display News.
- Listing page of "Locations" to collect and display Locations.
- Listing page of "Contacts" to collect and display Contacts.
You can narrow your display by selecting specific types within your category. For example, you can choose Topics, Event Type, Contact Type, or Location Type.
