Linking a Hidden Calendar Screen

In Onespot, you can create hidden screens and link them to other sections of your app. This is useful for keeping certain pages private while still allowing access through specific navigation points. A great example is linking a Kindergarten Calendar inside the Parent Resources section, ensuring only authorized users can access it.

Step-by-Step Guide to Linking a Hidden Calendar Screen

Step 1: Create a New Calendar Screen

1. Open your Onespot Admin Panel.
2. Click on New Screen and name it (e.g., Kindergarten Calendar).
3. Scroll down to Permissions and select "This screen is hidden from everyone."
4. Click Create—now, the screen exists but is invisible to users.

Step 2: Link the Hidden Screen to a Parent Section

1. Go to the section where you want to provide access (e.g., Kindergarten Parent Resources).
2. Open the Kindergarten category inside this section.
3. Select Add a Navigation Button and choose Navigate to Screen.
4. From the list of screens, select Kindergarten Calendar.
5. Click Done and Save Changes.

Step 3: Restrict Access (Optional)

• If needed, adjust permissions to ensure only specific user groups (e.g., Kindergarten Parents) can access the screen.

Why Use This Feature?

This feature allows you to keep screens private while still making them accessible through specific pathways in the app. It’s ideal for restricted calendars, event pages, or exclusive content that only certain users should see. By linking hidden screens, you maintain organization, control, and security within your school app. 🚀
