Overview of Public Landing Pages

The public landing pages give members of the public access to agency services. There are two separate public landing pages, one for anonymous users (guests), and one for registered users who have signed in.

Public user landing pages have elements such as the global header with a welcome message and the Apply and Guide buttons, alerts, search fields, attention needed card, action tiles, map, and so forth.

Landing Page Configuration

The elements on landing pages vary depending on how you configure the pages.

For information on configuring landing pages, see Setting Up the Landing Page for Anonymous Users and Setting Up the Landing Page for Registered Users.

For information on setting up alerts to appear on the landing pages, see Defining Alerts and Working with Ad Hoc Communications.

Tiles on the Anonymous User Landing Page

Also known as guests, anonymous public users are residents, business owners, contractors, and so on, who have not signed in or are not registered. From the anonymous user landing page, they can perform common tasks such as starting an application, accessing an interactive guide that provides recommendations for application types, or accessing an interactive map of the city.

As delivered, the anonymous user landing page includes these tiles:

See Reporting Issues.

Make CE Payments

If you click the tile as an anonymous user, you are prompted to sign in. Once signed in, you can make online payments for code enforcement fees.

See Making Code Enforcement Payments

Tiles on the Registered User Landing Page

Registered users are residents, business owners, contractors, contacts with application access, and so on, who are registered in the system. When a registered user is signed on, the landing page can include additional options related to the registered user’s interactions with your agency.

By default, the registered user landing page has a global header with a welcome message and the Apply and Guide buttons. The Apply button provides access to a page where the user can choose an application type and then start an application. The Guide button provides access to a questionnaire. The user provides information about a project, and the guide uses that information to recommend application types.

Note:

Your agency defines the guide questionnaire using Oracle Intelligent Advisor. If your agency is not using Oracle Intelligent Advisor, this tile will not appear.

The questionnaire comes from the Oracle Intelligent Advisor policy model that you specify for the Permits offering, if one exists. If there's no offering-level policy, the questionnaire comes from the agency-level Oracle Intelligent Advisor policy model. 

As delivered, the registered user landing page includes all the tiles that are available to anonymous users and these additional tiles:

Applicants can view a all of their applications on their Applications list page, including the ones for which they are contacts. Agencies must enable full application access for contacts to see these applications in the list.
