We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Modify Inappropriate Words

  • Updated:

Municipal Websites Central includes an inappropriate word filter that prevents the use of prohibitive language in multiple areas of your website.

 

The Inappropriate Words list affects:

  • Activity Registrations
  • Bid Postings Plan Holders Form Submissions
  • Community Connection
  • Community Voice
  • Form Center Submissions
  • My Account Profiles and Posts

 

If a post, submission, or other content includes an inappropriate word, your website will prevent it from being saved and will let the user know they are using language that is not permitted. This article will show you how to modify the Inappropriate Words list through Site Properties.
