How to Hide the “Add Event” Button from your Space View

In Timely’s Venue Management solution, the space calendar allows users to view and book available spaces. By default, the “Add Event” button may appear on this calendar, allowing event submissions directly from the public interface. If you’d prefer to simplify or control how users submit events, you have the option to hide the “Add Event” button from the space view. This can help you guide users through a more tailored booking process or display the button in a different location on your website.

1. What is the “Add Event” Button and the Hide “Add Event” Button for Space Views Features?

The “Add Event” button allows external users to create events and book spaces from your space view. It appears on your space view’s public interface when the Community Events module is enabled and the Enable Space Booking in the Event Submission Form option is set up.

Hiding the “Add Event” button for space views will remove the option for people to book spaces from the space view. By toggling this setting, you can customize the appearance and functionality of your calendar to suit your preferences and requirements.

2. Benefits of Hiding the “Add Event” Button

Customizing the visibility of the Add Event button offers several benefits, including:

1. Guided Submission Flow: Redirect users to a dedicated submission page with clear instructions, improving form accuracy and consistency.
2. Controlled Access and Booking Management: Limit where users can submit event requests, helping you manage bookings more efficiently and prevent unwanted submissions.
3. Focused User Attention: Simplify the interface to keep users focused on the intended actions—whether that’s viewing availability or submitting through the proper channels.
4. Decluttered Interface for Better User Experience: Hide the Add Event button from the calendar views when unnecessary to create a cleaner, more intuitive event listing that’s easier to navigate.
