Making your event public vs private

When submitting your event, you'll need to decide whether to make it visible university-wide:

  • Check the "Share event with campus?" box if:
    • Your event is open to the whole university community
    • You want your event to appear in university-wide event feeds
    • You want other users to be able to include your event in their feeds
  • Uncheck the "Share event with campus?" box if:
    • Your event is closed or invitation-only
    • Your event is intended only for specific IT Connects group members
    • You want to limit visibility of your event

Important: If you want your private event to appear on your group webpage on it.wisc.edu, please follow these steps:

  1. Email your event details to nick.heynen@wisc.edu
  2. If Nick is unavailable, contact communications@doit.wisc.edu instead
  3. The DoIT Communications team will create the event to ensure it appears correctly on IT Connects group pages while maintaining privacy settings

Note: Correctly tagged events will appear on the appropriate IT Connects calendars regardless of privacy settings when created through DoIT Communications.
