Show/Hide Channel Categories
I want to use one community setup for all 3 of my programs instead of having to sign up for multiple Heartbeat accts. A workaround for this would be the ability to show/hide specific channel categories. We already have the ability to show/hide channels, so if we could hide categories as well I could have separate categories only show for certain programs. She attached GIF of the area I mean. Simply adding a hide/show option to the category dropdown would be perfect!

UPDATE: Attended a Heartbeat Townhall & found out the the Heartbeat platform already automatically hides any channel categories for any user will not have access to! So the sytem show/hides the categories on it's own. Amazing!

Sharon Nolan, when you first create the channel, you can turn off "set as default channel", then keep on "set as private channel" (not discoverable by others from all channels & requires invite) and there's a box where you can determine which users & groups you want to have access to this private channel. Would this work for your needs? I agree we should be able to have similar settings at the category level or a per-category toggle to decide if we want to set the access at the category level or the channel level. That way if you have 20 channels that the entire category needs access to, it could just be set at the category level.

Misty Dorman: Yes, I am familiar with the ability to make channels private, but I still can’t “hide” the category all together. So currently this looks like no channels being listed under a specific category if I set them to private, but I would like for them to not see the category name itself. This is why I am requesting a show/hide option for categories too.

Sharon Nolan: gotcha. Yeah, that makes sense not to want a channel appearing empty.
