Record Donation

January 2023: the current dashboard release has new graphics and some interface changes. Many screenshots still reflect the older release and will be updated shortly.

You can record cash donations, and donations for "Donation" items, one at a time by selecting the item and the bidder, and then entering the amount.

To record a donation, open the Record bid, purchase or donation page and make sure the DONATION tab is selected. The default when selecting Bidding/Sales is the BID tab when coming from the main Auction Dashboard menu.
