Address

You can add a new address or edit an existing address from the addresses library.

Reusable component

Addresses are a reusable component that live in a central library. Any editor on SF.gov can reuse an address when they need to.

Add a new address

To add an address:

• Go to Snippets in the left menu

• Click on Addresses

• Click the blue Add Address button at the top

You can fill in the following fields to build a reusable address component:

• Agency

• Organization

• Addresses

• Location name

• Line 1 (required)

• Line 2

• City (required)

• State (required)

• Zip (required)

• Location notes

• Hours and days open

New address interface

• Choose the Agency your address is for by clicking the blue Choose a page button

• Fill out the rest of the fields

• Save

Your address is now available to reuse on any page you like.

Other editors can reuse the address you've added too. If your address ever changes, someone else has likely edited it.

Reuse an existing address

From an SF.gov page with an Address component:

• Click the blue Choose an address button

• Search for the address you want, then click on it

This address component will now appear on the page. If the address is edited, the edited version will appear.

Edit an address

You only need to edit an address when an agency moves to a new location. For other cases, add a new address.

Any changes you make will be seen on other pages that use that address.

To edit an address:

• Go to Snippets in the left menu

• Click on Addresses

• Scroll or search for the address you want to edit, and click

• Edit away!

Addresses are one of the pieces of relational content on SF.gov.

That means that when you enter an address into the SF.gov CMS, it’s saved and shared, and users can pull it up and use it on multiple pages.

It also means that if you modify an address, the change will show up everywhere that address displays.

Add an address

Here's how to add a shared address component. Begin anywhere you see a button with "add address." The screenshot below shows adding a Step to a Transaction page, having selected "add address". Then, click Add Address.

Existing address

Use Existing address if you have entered an address before for your department or location.

• Type in your department, address, or location name

• Click Filter

• Select the checkbox next to the address you want to use

• Click Attach address

New address

Use New address if you have never entered an address for your department or location, or if you are not sure which one is best.

• Fill out the fields

• Click Save and attach address

Change an address

If a page you work on has an incorrect shared address, that usually means someone else has edited the address. Let Digital Services know so we can help.

Meanwhile, you can remove the incorrect address and replace it with a new one.

• Click Remove to remove the previous address

• You can then replace the address using one of the processes above.

Change an address

You can add email and phone contact information that is related to the address. You can add more if needed.
