Tonight’s update to the news publishing application introduced a new feature to the IRIS website: *Incident Reporting*.

News posts regarding incidents affecting the services IRIS offers will now include both a color and an icon to distinguish their severity. Important incidents will be yellow while critical ones get red.

A green tick mark indicates an incident has been resolved, so you’ll be able to tell, at-a-glance, when maintenance has been completed or a problem solved.

We hope this feature will help you stay informed about the services you depend on.

As always, if you have any feedback regarding this feature or any other component of this website, please send it to img[at]eecs.berkeley.edu.
