You can also add your item categories directly before setting up your items for more effortless organization.
On the Item Dashboard, under Categories, click Add New Category.
Enter a name for the category. The name is required; all other fields are optional.
The Sort Index is used when grouping items by category in the printed auction catalog.
The item list is grouped by category, sorted by sort index, and then the name within each category. If all categories have the same sort index (the default), they will appear sorted by their alpha-numerical name.
Suppose you want to promote a specific category to the top of the order. In that case, you can assign it a lower sort index value. The sort index will always be in ascending order.
All categories are included in the printed and online catalog by default. To exclude a category from the catalog, uncheck the appropriate checkbox by clicking on it.
Click Add Category when finished.
The page will refresh so that you can quickly add more categories. When you are finished entering categories, click Back to Categories as needed.
