How to describe an e-service channel?

Enter the web address of the e-service channel in its field. The address has to start with http:// or https://. The system will return an error if you enter an address without this initial part.

Make sure that the address of the e-service channel is as accurate as possible so that the customer can use the service without any additional steps.

When you enter a web address for an e-service channel that requires identification through Suomi.fi e-Identification, enter the page or address where identification starts as the address of the service channel. Do not enter an address beginning with tunnistautuminen.suomi.fi because it will send the customer to an error page.

You can find the correct web address for an e-service channel that requires strong identification by copying the web address of the page that has the link to identification. You can copy the link address by right-clicking your mouse and selecting “Copy link address”.

Note! If an e-service can be used in different languages and you want to describe the e-service in the Suomi.fi Finnish Service Catalogue in these other languages as well, remember to enter the exact address of each language version.

Identification refers to any method a user can use to log in to an e-service channel or identify themselves in one. These methods include strong identification with online banking codes, mobile certificate or certificate card, and weak identification with a username and password.

Select “Yes” or “No”. The default selection is “Yes”, so make sure to change it if necessary.

In some e-services, the user has to give an electronic signature. Indicate here whether the e-service requires an electronic signature.

Select “No” or “Yes”. The default selection is “No”, so make sure to change it if necessary.

If you select “Yes”, enter the number of signatures. The default is one signature. Use the menu to select the required number of electronic signatures. More than one signatures are required if data has to be confirmed by more than one person.

If the e-service includes attachments or additional information pages that are on a website outside the Suomi.fi Finnish Service Catalogue, you can enter their details under “Appendix and additional information links", which is the lowest item under Channel-specific information and accessibility. You can enter multiple web addresses.

The attachment or page should be located at an external web address because no attachment files can be uploaded or saved in the Finnish Service Catalogue.
