Visibility and access

Decide per part who can see your competition or tournament: public, club members only or via a direct link, and hide a part while you are still setting it up.

In Slams you control visibility on two separate levels. First: is a part already public or are you still working on it. Second: if it is public, who is it meant for. Both are set separately per part, so within the same event with multiple parts one group can be public and another members only.

The three visibility levels

When you create a part you choose a visibility level. There are three options:

  • Public: anyone can see the part. It appears on your club page, in the event overviews and can be found by Google. This is the default.
  • Club members only: the part does not appear in any public overview and is not indexed by Google. The detail page can only be opened by logged-in members of your club, meaning a player linked to an account or a club administrator. Anyone who is not a member and still tries the link gets a not-found page.
  • Via link only: meant to be shared through the direct link. Anyone with that link can open the part without logging in.

Hiding a part while you set it up

Separate from visibility, every part has a Show publicly toggle in the settings. When it is off, the part is a draft: it does not appear on your public pages and cannot be opened through a guessed link either, but you still see it in your dashboard. This lets you build a competition at your own pace and go live only once everything is right. Turn Show publicly back on and the part becomes visible according to the chosen visibility level.

Note: visibility and access are separate from registration. A part can be publicly visible while registration is closed. How to open and close registration is explained in managing registrations.

Where you set this

You choose the visibility (public, club members only, via link only) in the part's creation wizard. You will find the Show publicly toggle afterwards on the part's settings page in your dashboard. If you want to give a part more exposure instead, you can also embed it on your own website or share the registration link.
