Set the location
Search for the place, add a venue label if you want one, and choose whether the public page shows the full address, the venue only, or nothing.
An event is in person or online. For an in-person event you pick a real place, so guests get a map and directions, and you decide how much of the address the public page shows.
Set an in-person place
- 1Click Edit event, or start a new event.
- 2Under Where, make sure In person is picked.
- 3In Address, type the place's name or address and pick it from the suggestions. The full address shows under the field.
- 4Optional: type a Venue label, such as "Chabad House". It shows in place of the map's name for the place.
- 5Optional: add Getting there for entrances, parking or access codes.
- 6Click Save.
Ovante won't save an address you typed without picking a suggestion, because directions come from the place you pick.
What the page shows
Guests see a title with the address under it. The title is your Venue label, else the place's name, else the address. Maps always look up the address, never the label.
Hide the address
Under On the public page, pick one:
| Option | The public page shows |
|---|---|
| Full address | The venue and the address. Anyone can see it. |
| Venue name only | The venue. The address stays private. |
| Hidden | Neither the venue nor the address. |
When the address is private, Guests get the address decides when people who registered see it, in their confirmation email and on their ticket:
- When they register: right away.
- When you release it: not until it's released. Until then their ticket says "Location will be shared by the hosts".
The app has no button to release the address. If you pick When you release it and want guests to have the address, switch to When they register. Ticket pages show it at once; confirmation emails already sent don't change.
An online event
- 1Under Where, pick Online.
- 2Paste the Meeting link, the link guests join from.
- 3Click Save.
The page says "Online". Switching between In person and Online clears the other side when you save, so a guest never sees an old venue and a link together.
