Add an agency contact

Brian Hurst edited this page Dec 4, 2017 · 2 revisions

Agency contacts can be added by updating the data file located in _data/contacts.yml.

The format for adding a new agency is:

- department: Name of Department
  website: http://www.department.gov/path/to/directory
  officials:
    - name: Individual's Name
      email: [email protected]
      title: Acting Assistant to the Administrator
  contacts:
    - name: Individual's Name
      email: [email protected]
      title: Plain Writing Coordinator

More than one official or contact can be added by using the following format:

  contacts:
    - name: Individual's Name
      email: [email protected]
      title: Plain Writing Coordinator
    - name: Another Name
      email: [email protected]
      title: Plain Writing Coordinator

For contacts, if there is only a Department-wide email you can use:

  contacts: [email protected]

Lastly, all field expect department are optional, so you can omit any fields that are empty:

- department: Name of Department
  website: http://www.department.gov/path/to/directory
  contacts: [email protected]

Note: The agency contact list will be sorted in alphabetical order automatically when rendered on the page, so the order of contacts in the _data/contacts.yml file is not important.
