Online and Mobile Features Merged and Simplified(Sept 8)
When we introduced mobile bidding, we anticipated that most customers would want to restrict mobile bidding to guests attending their gala. We were wrong. So we have merged and simplified the online and mobile features to make online pre-bidding on items seamless and set up easier:
Instead of configuring access for bidders who are not present, the feature now defaults to access for all. For those that do want to restrict bidding to ticketed (or invited) guests, a single checkbox is all it takes.
Site Settings are reorganized and simplified:
- Catalog visibility is now controlled by a simple on/off setting rather than specifying opening and closing times.
- Online and Mobile settings are merged as Online/Mobile
- Settings are organized by function (see above) and all catalog display settings now reside at Site Settings > Catalog > Additional Settings for Online/Mobile.
Invitations to bid can be emailed to any selected user from the User page as well as from the Auction Night Tasks screen.
In addition to sending invitations to bid, supporters can also sign up to bid using buttons on the homepage, nav bar, catalog, or from an optional link on the ticket menu.
Alternate methods are now provided for bidders that have trouble accessing an emailed invitation, including text messages and QR codes.
Online and Mobile Reports have been merged.
Plus: Online/Mobile is now available with a Standard Subscription.
In addition to the above, Plus and Premium plans can now offer Paddle Raise and Live items via online/mobile bidding; and can create one or more display screens to be projected during the event. Displays can now be launched from the Auction Night Task Screen.
