Event Sensitivity

The event sensitivity is commonly used to control which events display on a public website for your organization. Below are the available sensitivities from the lowest value (most open) to the highest value (most restrictive):

  • Public – Typically assigned to events that are available to the public and should display on a public website.
  • External – Typically assigned to events that are not available to the public but you still want to  display on a public website.
  • Privileged – Typically assigned to events that only a selected group of people would attend. These events may or may not display on a public website depending on your organization’s preference.
  • Internal – Typically assigned to your own internal events and are usually not displayed on a public website.
  • Confidential – Typically assigned to events that only a select group of individuals within your organization should see. See Confidential Events for information on how to restrict the viewing of confidential events.

By default, all events are assigned to a sensitivity of Public. You can change this value for each event individually at any time. You can also configure the software to default all new events to another sensitivity:

  1. Click the Event Management Configuring link from the Main Menu. The Event Management Configuration screen opens.
  2. Select the Defaults tab.
  3. Select the event sensitivity to default for all new events from the Event Sensitivity drop-down.
  4. Click OK.

    Hi Bac,

    I think the Confidential Events feature in v20 would accomplish what you are looking for.  Contact your Account Manager and he/she can schedule some time for you to take a look at the feature and see if it would meet your needs.

    Thanks,

    Maggie

    Hi R.C.,

    Sensitivities are defined by the system so they can't be removed or added to.

    Thanks,

    When we copy events in v20, it keeps the original event's sensitivity, instead of defaulting back to Public.  In v19 this was not the case.  Am I missing another piece to get it to default to Public?  Thanks!

    Hi Tabitha,

    In v19 there is an option on the Copy Event window that allows you to select whether fields from the "Supplement" tab are copied or not.  My assumption is when copying in v19 you are leaving this unchecked, so the Sensitivity field is not being copied there.

    In v20, we made architectural changes that do not include a separate object for those items and we no longer include that as an option for selection on the Copy Event window.   Instead we simply copy all of those items, which can be edited on the new event.

    If this is something you feel should be changed, please post it to the Community Forum where it can be reviewed by our Product Managers and other customers can comment and indicate support if appropriate.

    Regards,
