We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

    How do we create events without having them published when created? The option to "Not Published" is only available after the item is created and published.

    Hi Nichole Plowman,

     

    I apologize for not seeing your message sooner!

     

    You can indicate whether events should be immediately published to the Public Portal upon creation within Portal Settings. To do so, you will want to navigate to the User Menu > Settings > Events & Public Portal > Portal Settings. Scroll down to the Portal Preferences section and click the Default Event Publish Setting dropdown. If you select No and then click Save Changes, all meetings created going forward should be unpublished by default.
