The Online Bidding Dashboard makes it easy for event chairs to confirm their set-up, monitor bidding by group, bidders, and/or items and make adjustments on the fly.
To Access the Online Bidding Dashboard
All chair users can access via the button in the upper right of the admin view of the catalog:
If your subscription includes Mobile Bidding Tools (Acorn/Plus/Professional), the Online Bidding Dashboard can also be accessed from the Auction Night Tasks screen:
Manage Online Bidding Groups provides two-click options to:
- Launch bidding (click on link to override opening time to NOW)
- Close bidding (click on link to override closing time to NOW)
- Extend bidding (click on link, then choose the length of time to add to the current closing time)
- Re-Launch (as long as items have not yet been awarded, closed bidding groups can be re-opened for bidding using the Re-Launch link, then choosing how long the bidding should be extended for.
- Award (click on link to trigger awarding of closed items to high bidders)
Note that the above are "smart" options: Labels update to reflect current states and valid operations. For instance, the Award links only display when 1) bidding has closed and 2) Auto-Award is "Off".
Buttons on the right provide options to:
- Confirm/edit setting to Auto-Award items at closing (ON) or Award items manually (OFF)
- Review Invitations to Self Check-out
- Send Invitations to Self Check-out to ALL gala guests and online bidders with open orders and email addresses. Triggering invitations from here also adds a shopping cart icon to the Smartphone Bidding nav bar - which allows winners to review their purchases and pay, even without the emailed invitation.
- Bulk Process credit card charges for all Open Orders with Vaulted credit cards (Acorn/Plus/Professional only).
- View/Edit Bidding Settings from a single pop-up window.
