Setting Up Business License Display Groups

Use the Display Group setup pages to display groups of business licenses on your agency’s landing page, where you start an application.

A display group identifies a meaningful grouping of business license types displayed as a list on the Apply page. The list appears as the business licenses that agency staff or a guest can select to initiate the application process.

For more information about how the Apply page looks and is used, see Choosing an Application Type.

Before setting up business license display groups, you must set up the types of business licenses your agency offers. See Setting Up Business License Types.

Adding Business License Display Groups

1. Select Business License Setup > Business License Display Group.

2. On the Business License Display Group page, click Add to add a new group.

   Display Group	Enter a name for the display group that appears on the Apply page for guests and agency staff.
   Description	Enter a description of the display group that appears on the Apply page for guests and agency staff.
   URL	Enter a URL that agency staff can use to access additional information. This page is the only place that the URL appears, so it is not available to guests.
   Applicable Classification	Select the check box for the applications to which this display group applies. Choose from these options: Business Licenses Permits Planning and Zoning This option determines whether a display group type is shown on the Apply page for public users.
