How to Hide an Activity from Your Landing Page

Want to make an activity available only to selected families instead of displaying it on your organization's public Landing Page?

AfterSchool HQ allows providers to control which activities are visible to the public on their organization's Landing Page.

Follow along to learn how to enable the Invite Only setting, update your activity's visibility, and share its direct link with the families you want to give access to.

1. Access Extracurricular Activities

From the main navigation menu, click “Extracurricular Activities” to find the program you want to make private.

💡 Tip: If your organization has multiple activities, use the available search or filtering options to locate the correct one.

2. Select the Activity

Find and select the activity you want to hide from your organization's Landing Page.

💡 Tip: Double-check that you've selected the correct activity before changing its visibility settings.

3. Open Activity Setup

Once you've opened the activity, navigate to the “Setup” section to access its configuration options.

4. Open Advanced Settings

Click “Show Advanced Settings” to reveal additional configuration options, including the activity visibility settings.

5. Enable Invite Only

Locate the “Invite Only” setting and switch it to Yes.

💡 Tip: Remember that enabling Invite Only does not automatically send invitations to families. You'll need to share the activity's direct link with the families you want to give access to.

6. Save Your Changes

Once you've enabled Invite Only, click “Save” to apply your changes and update the activity's visibility.

💡 Tip: Make sure your changes are saved before leaving the Setup section.

7. Publish the Activity (If Not Already Published)

If the activity hasn't been published yet, continue through the publishing process to make it accessible through its activity link.

If your activity is already published, you can skip this step and proceed to copying its link.

💡 Tip: You don't need to publish an activity again if it has already been published. The Invite Only setting controls its public visibility.

8. Confirm Activity Publication

Complete the publishing process to finalize your activity.

9. Copy and Share Your Activity Link

Once the activity is published, click the paper icon to copy its activity link.

You can then share this link directly with the families you want to give access to the activity.

💡 Tip: Share the link through your preferred communication channel, such as email or a direct message, so the intended families can access the activity.
