Summary

If multiple auctions are in the same organization, the system will display the Auction Dashboard based on the date defined on the auction Summary tab as the Event Date. For example, Auctira will display an event in the last week; otherwise, the system will show the next upcoming event.

Auction

  • Auction Name
    The name of the Auction/Event itself.
  • Event Date
    The date the event is taking place. If there isn't a single day then use the start date.
  • Event Start Time
    The time your event starts (in your organization's timezone).
    This is only used for in-person events.
  • Event Location
    The event location will be shown as entered on tickets.
  • Event Latitude
    The event latitude will be used to link tickets to the event location.
  • Event Longitude
    The event longitude will be used to link tickets to the event location.
  • Fundraising Target
    The amount of money you hope to raise in this event.

Archiving

  • Archive Date
    Enter the date after which this event will no longer be visible online to bidders (you can still see it though).
  • Show Auto Redirect Banner
    When enabled (the default), a banner will be displayed on the current Auction Website with a link to the the most current event.

  • Redirect Url
    A Redirect URL can be set that will be used instead of the system derived newer event link. If the Redirect URL is left blank, it will default to the latest event in your organization. If set, the URL will be used explicitly in the Redirect Banner.

    IMPORTANT

    When using the Redirect URL property, you must include a fully formed address; the URL must begin with the appropriate HTTP/HTTPS protocol for the website address.

Notes

This section can be used for making notes about the auction/event and are not publicly visible.

Advanced Options

The following Advanced Options are available:

  • Next assigned item#
    The system will attempt to use this number as the number item#.
  • Item# template
    Template used to format item numbers. Leave blank for default.
  • Next assigned bidder#
    The system will attempt to use this number as the number bidder#
  • Bidder# template
    Template used to format bidder numbers. Leave blank for default.

These two settings (item# and template) let you change the number that will be assigned automatically next time an item, or bidder, is created without a number being provided. You can adjust these if you have renumbered the items/bidders or, for example, if you want bidders registering online to receive a high number. You do not have to guarantee that the number you specify is "free", if it is taken the system will keep looking for a new number.

You can use these two settings to influence the style of item and bidder numbers assigned. The syntax of the template should include { { n } } (without spaces) in the place you want the number to appear. For example, to allocate all bidder numbers as Bnnn use the template:

B{{n}}

There are a couple of formatting filters you can apply. To pad all item (or bidder) numbers to 3 digits with leading zeros use:

{{n | pad3}}

This will create bidder numbers 001, 002, 003, etc. There are also filters for pad4, pad5 and pad6 to pad to those lengths.

You can adjust the item#, or bidder#, increment value (from the default of 1) to your preferred value with the following:

{{n | times:10}}

The numbers would then be allocated as 10, 20, 30, ...
