## In this section
The **Content** tab controls what visitors see on your public status dashboard — which event sections are shown, the order they appear in, per-component uptime bars, and how dates and times are formatted.

Toggle each event module on or off independently. The **Component Status** grid is always included but can be repositioned in the display order.

> **Dashboard scope.** Event modules, uptime bars, and event permalinks only include items that affect at least one component **currently** on this dashboard (configured in the [Components](/docs/status-dashboards/components) tab). Reorganizing components changes what history and permalinks visitors see on this page — events are not deleted in admin. See [Dashboard scope](/docs/status-dashboards/components#dashboard-scope) for details.

| Module                                                                         | What visitors see                                           |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Active Incidents](/docs/status-dashboards/content/active-incidents)           | Open incidents affecting components on this dashboard       |
| [Active Maintenance](/docs/status-dashboards/content/active-maintenance)       | Maintenance windows currently in progress                   |
| [Informational Notices](/docs/status-dashboards/content/informational-notices) | Published announcements and notices                         |
| [Planned Maintenance](/docs/status-dashboards/content/planned-maintenance)     | Upcoming scheduled maintenance windows                      |
| [Component Status](/docs/status-dashboards/content/component-status)           | Live status for each component on this dashboard            |
| [Weekly Activity](/docs/status-dashboards/content/weekly-activity)             | Weekly chart of incident and maintenance activity           |
| [Event History](/docs/status-dashboards/content/event-history)                 | Resolved incidents and completed maintenance (last 30 days) |

## Module order
Use the up and down arrows next to each module in the Content tab to set the order sections appear on the dashboard. **Component Status** can be placed anywhere — for example, below active incidents but above event history. Changes take effect after you save.

## Uptime history
Separate from the event modules above, you can show a row of colored day indicators beneath each component:

| Setting     | Description                                              |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Enabled** | Shows uptime bars under each component on the dashboard. |
| **Days**    | How many recent days to display: 1–7.                    |

Each bar reflects whether that component had incident or maintenance activity on that calendar day. See [Component Status](/docs/status-dashboards/content/component-status) for how uptime colors relate to live status.

## Timestamp format
Controls how event dates and times are displayed across the dashboard (timeline entries on event detail pages, informational notice posted times, and similar).

| Option                      | Example                        |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| **Relative time** (default) | "5 minutes ago", "3 hours ago" |
| **Exact date & time**       | "Jun 14, 2026 at 2:34 PM EDT"  |

Relative time helps visitors quickly see how recent an update is. Exact date and time is useful when your audience spans multiple time zones or when you need precise timestamps.
