One of the very first things that you will have to do when setting up your Engage site is create an Issue. Not only is it a required step in the initial engagement creation process, but you also have the option to use them to create Issue Pages for use on your public facing site.
To get started, hover your mouse over the Engage tab and select Issues. Click on Add an Issue to begin. Enter the Issue Name and select select a “Web Form” from the drop down. Web Forms are used to determine a default issue area when submitting correspondence to federal elected officials who use web forms that require an issue area field. These can always be edited on individual Engagements.
The content you enter for the following elements will be used to populate the Issue Page:
