Archive Auction

By default, the Archive Auction date is set to six months after the event date set in the Auction Details dashboard. You can override this date and set it to something you see as more appropriate.

IMPORTANT

The Archive Auction logic requires Online Bidding end time to be at least one month prior to the Archive Date to prevent archiving active events. Auctria handles this automatically.

An archived event is still visible to you from the dashboard but will be hidden online from bidders both on the web site, and when using the mobile app. Any website links associated with an archived event will return a "missing event" error page.

You can set the archive date to be in the past, or future, and once that date is reached the event will be considered archived.

INFORMATION

By default, the system will set the Archive Date six (6) months after the Event Date.

When viewing the dashboard of an archived event, there will be an Auction Archived message shown.
