# Auction Details

The Auction Details page lets you modify the information about the event.

# SUMMARY

# Auction

• Auction Name
  The name of the Auction/Event itself.
• Event Date
  Enter the date the event is taking place. If there isn't a single day then use the start date.
• Archive Date
  Enter the date after which this event will no longer be visible online to bidders (you can still see it though).
• Fundraising Target
  Amount of money you hope to raise in this event.

# 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, ...
