System Status
System Status is a simple status page for your school that can track incidents.
Component Groups
Groups are the top level object that all components will be a member of. Groups would be something like Core Services, Cloud Applications, etc...
Groups can be set to open expanded by default so that users can see all the components in the group by default.
When displayed groups are display the worse status of all its components.
Components
A component is the item that has a status and is the container for incidents.
You can manually set the status of a component, how ever its better to use incidents to change it away from Operational.
Incidents
You can create an incident for a component that will change the components status.
These incidents can then have update messages that also set the status.
Once an update message sets the status back to Operational the incident will be closed and deleted after 24 hours.
