Finding Policies on Your Website

Signal can help you discover policy documents published on your school website, making it easier to identify which policies to add.

​
How It Works

  1. You provide a URL to a page on your school website that lists policies
  2. Signal scans the page and finds links to policy documents
  3. You review the discovered links
  4. You add the policies you want to Signal (one at a time)
This feature helps you discover policies on your website. You’ll still need to add each policy individually using the Add Policy feature.

​
Using Website Discovery

1

Navigate to Policies

Go to Settings → Policies
2

Click Discover from Website

Click the Discover from Website button
3

Enter Your Policies Page URL

Enter the URL of the page on your school website that lists your policies.Example URLs:
  • https://yourschool.org/policies
  • https://yourschool.org/about/key-information
  • https://yourschool.org/statutory-information
4

Review Discovered Links

Signal will show you a list of document links found on the page.
5

Add Policies

For each policy you want to add, click to open it and then add it to Signal using the standard Add Policy process.

​
Tips for Best Results

Point Signal to a page that contains links to your actual policy documents, not a page that just lists policy names.
Some school websites have policies organized across multiple pages. You may need to run discovery on each section page.
The URL you provide must be publicly accessible (not behind a login) for Signal to scan it.

​
After Discovery

Once you’ve identified your policies:
  1. Download the policy documents from your website
  2. Add each policy to Signal using Add Policy
  3. Select the appropriate policy type for each

​
Alternative: Manual Addition

If your policies aren’t on your website, or you prefer to add them directly:
  1. Navigate to Settings → Policies
  2. Click Add Policy
  3. Enter the policy name and type
  4. Upload the document
See Adding Policies for detailed instructions.
