This article describes how to flag events as private. Private events are not displayed on the public calendar but are available to all event planners, service providers and administrators, and event owners.
Overview
When an event planner creates an event, they can indicate whether it is public or private. By default, events are public. Event planners can also edit existing events to make them private. Private events are not displayed on the public calendar but in all other areas of the system.
Optionally, event planners can select individual bookings to be private rather than marking the entire event as private.
When an event is marked as private, all of the bookings will appear to be private. To make some bookings public, make the event public and then set the appropriate bookings to private.
