# Hosting A Web Tipline

A Web tipline is a publicly accessible web page with a form for entering a tip. Use the following instructions to complete the process of [](https://docs.junkipedia.org/getting-started/setting-up-tiplines/configuring-tipline-properties "mention").

If modifying an existing tipline, click the edit link associated with the desired tipline as shown on [the "Manage Tiplines" Page](https://docs.junkipedia.org/getting-started/setting-up-tiplines/..#the-manage-tiplines-page). It will bring up an "Edit Tipline" form similar to the one shown below. If you are in the process of creating a new tipline, you may already see a [form called "New Tipline"](https://docs.junkipedia.org/getting-started/creating-a-new-tipline#the-new-tipline-form) which is similar and will serve the same purpose.

#### Choose A Name

The name you provide will distinguish this tipline from others listed on [the "Manage Tiplines" page for your organization](https://docs.junkipedia.org/getting-started/setting-up-tiplines/..#the-manage-tiplines-page).

#### Identifier

The tipline will be presented as a publicly accessible web page with a form for entering a tip. The identifier specifies a URL path component that will be appended to

&#x20;   <mark style="background-color:blue;"><https://www.junkipedia.org/tips/></mark>

to create a URL for your web form. For example, the identifier <mark style="background-color:blue;">fakenews</mark> will cause your web form to be hosted at

&#x20;   <mark style="background-color:blue;"><https://www.junkipedia.org/tips/fakenews></mark>

Just to be clear, you would not insert this entire URL into the identifier field. The identifier would simply be

&#x20;    <mark style="background-color:blue;">fakenews</mark>&#x20;

in this example.

#### Heading

The heading identifies your tipline in a way that is appropriate for the tipline type. For example, if the heading is "myheading", a web form tipline type would show "Submit a tip to myheading" at the top of the form that will be shown to the user when adding a tip.
