Brand and configure public views

Admin access is required to manage public branding. Open the account’s public-status settings for defaults. Enable a custom dashboard’s branding override to customize it separately.

Option Accepted values / effect
Brand name, page title Up to 100 characters each
Description Up to 500 characters
Website URL HTTP/HTTPS URL without embedded user credentials; up to 2048 characters
Support URL HTTP/HTTPS or valid mailto link; up to 2048 characters
Primary color Six-digit hexadecimal color, such as #7c3aed
Default theme System, light or dark
Check layout Cards or table
Visibility Details, locations, performance and incidents
Images Logo, dark logo and favicon; each can be uploaded or removed

Dashboard summary-panel and incident-history settings also affect its presentation. Review those alongside branding.

Public branding appearance preview showing the same fictional Northstar status page in light and dark themes.

The settings preview compares both themes using sample content. It is not a live health report; inspect the signed-out public page after saving.

Use PNG, JPEG or WebP, at most 2 MiB per image. Logos must be between 16 and 4096 pixels on each axis. Favicons must be square, between 32 and 512 pixels. An image’s actual content must satisfy the constraints, not just its filename.

Account branding supplies defaults to dashboards. A dashboard override can still inherit missing images from the account. Verify both themes, especially when a light logo has insufficient contrast on a dark background.

  1. Save account defaults or enable and save a dashboard override.
  2. Open the relevant public page signed out.
  3. Check title, links, image contrast and layout.
  4. Review which check details and incident text remain visible.
  5. Disable details that should not be shared.

Display controls do not change check health, incident creation or internal record retention. Public-branding changes are not available through API/MCP.
