Customize HTML and CSS

For users who want to restructure the entire look of their status pages, StatusIQ offers customization at various levels, including the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, font, header, and footer. 

To access the layout editor:

1. Log in to StatusIQ.
2. Choose the status page for which you want to change the layout.
3. Navigate to Customize > Customize HTML & CSS.
4. Make the necessary modifications and click Publish to apply them to your status page.

The layout editor

The layout editor has three sections:

• Custom CSS
• Custom Header HTML
• Custom Footer HTML

Any changes made in the editor will automatically be reflected on the right pane, giving you a live preview. The changes are saved as a draft and will not be mirrored on the public page. Once you click Publish, all modifications made to the page, including the ones made to the incident history, component details, and incident details pages, will be applied to your status page. If you click Undo Draft Changes, the unpublished changes you made will be undone.

You will be able to view the latest publisher, date, and time below the Publish and Undo Draft Changes buttons.

Here are the various customizations available for your status page:

• CSS
• HTML and JavaScript

Sample codes to edit the status page layout are given at the end of this document. 

CSS customization

To implement the custom design elements of your preference, you can use the custom CSS and JavaScript editor to enhance the layout of your status page. Code snippets entered into the Custom CSS field are put into an external style sheet and included in the header section of the document. The external style sheet is inserted after the main style sheet, which gives you the freedom to override styles as required.

Refer to this page for the display the code section for default CSS classes defined in StatusIQ.

HTML and JavaScript customization

You can modify your status page's layout with custom JavaScript code according to your preference. With this, you can rearrange sections, hide sections, and do much more. 

Refer to this page for the default Document Object Model (DOM) structure and the default page content loads inside div.container.

Refer to this page for the DOM structure after customization changes.
