Allow Events to Be Hidden from the Public Directory Page

Organizations often need to create events that are invitation-only, sponsor-only, or not yet ready for public release. Currently, events must be marked as approved for online sales in order to generate registration links, which causes them to appear in the public event directory page hosted by Blackbaud.

We recently discovered that events enabled for online sales can be found through this directory before they are published on our official website. This creates challenges for both event testing and events intended for a limited audience that still require online registration.

Please provide an option to:

  • Hide events from the public directory page

  • Create private or unlisted events

  • Allow direct-link registration without directory listing

For additional context, please see my related Community discussion.
