5. As and when you add services, the preview pane on the right will display what the page will look like to your subscribers.
6. Give a name to the group, and choose whether to add services or sub-groups and add services to those sub-groups.
7. The preview pane on the right will show you the hierarchy of services as per the way you organize them.

10. Now that you have set up the Status Page, add its subscribers. Head to Admin >>> Status Page >>> Manage Subscribers

Note: Freshservice provides double verification for adding a subscriber to Status Page. After you add a subscriber, they would receive an email asking them to verify their email address. Only if they click on the given link to confirm that the given email address is indeed their and is correct, will they receive status updates.
