When you create an activity or event you have the option of putting it in Test Mode.
What is Test Mode?
Test Mode allows you to create your activity without it being live. When in Test Mode, only managers will see it - regular members will not see it. Also, the automated signup notices will not be sent out when in Test Mode.
IMPORTANT NOTE
While in Test Mode you can still sign up other members. If you sign them up, they will receive a confirmation notice. Also if you Manage the activity and choose to Send a Signup Notice, it will be sent out - so be sure you really want that sent. There is a warning message on that page, just in case.
How to turn Test Mode on or off
It is easy to toggle Test Mode on or off - just note that you can only do this from our website, not in the app. The easiest way is to log into www.groupvalet.com and scroll down to one of your activities. From there you will see the current state of your activity along with a link to toggle it. You'll see one of these two options:
Simply click the link to toggle in and out of Test Mode. Note - if you have a repeating activity (weekly game, for example), this toggle will effect all instances - not just the one you click on.
You can also toggle Test Mode on or off by editing the activity.
