Primary Agency Field on All Content Types

We are rolling out a new “Primary Agency” field across all SF.gov content types to help improve content ownership and enable future enhancements.

🆕 What’s changing

• A new Primary Agency field will be added to all content types.

• This field will identify the agency responsible for maintaining a given page.

• While not required at launch, the field will become required 60 days after the rollout. We’ll send a follow-up reminder before that change takes effect.

• For content with a single agency listed in the existing Partner Agency field, DDS will assist in migrating that value to the new Primary Agency field.

🎯 Why this matters

The Primary Agency field sets the foundation for:

• Filtering pages and documents by agency to help with accessibility remediation

• Finding your pages in Karl

• Knowing who to talk to when a page needs an update

✅ What you need to do

• Start tagging the Primary Agency on new and existing content, where possible.

  • The primary agency is the agency responsible for creating and maintaining the content.

  • If you are unclear about which agency to tag, contact [e-mail].

• Watch for further communications before the field becomes required in 60 days.

If you have any questions, email [e-mail].
