2Your Status Page URL
Every organisation gets a unique subdomain for their public status page. The URL is based on your organisation's slug (a URL-friendly version of your name).

4Organise with Component Groups
Component groups help you organise related services on your status page. For example, you might have groups for "Core Services", "Integrations", or "Regional Endpoints".
To create a group, go to Components and click Add Group. You can then assign components to groups when creating or editing them.
Groups are displayed as collapsible sections on your public status page, making it easier for visitors to find the services they care about.
