Create a general notice

This article explains how to create a general notice on your status page.

Use a general notice when you need to share an update that is not an incident or maintenance, such as a product update, release note, service announcement, or change log.

Create a general notice

To create a general notice:

1. Open the status page you want to manage from Manage Status Pages.
2. Select Write New Notice.
3. Choose General from the notice type options.
4. Make sure General Notice is selected.
5. Choose the Affected Components related to the notice. You can select more than one component.
6. Select a Notice Template to auto-complete the subject and initial comment, or enter these manually.
7. Enter the Subject.
8. Enter the Initial comment.
9. Add tags to help categorise the notice. Type the tag, then press Enter or comma to add it.

Markdown is supported in the initial comment textbox.

Finally, choose whether to:

• publish the notice to your status page only
• publish the notice and send notifications to subscribers

Select the relevant publishing option to create the general notice.

Your general notice will now appear in your status page history.
