How To Renumber Items To Group By Category
When entering items, you can assign categories and group them in the catalog. However, as items are entered when they arrive their item numbers are often not contiguous within a category. The item renumbering page can be used to reassign item numbers so they are grouped by category.
To set this up, click on Items in the main Auction Dashboard menu and then click Numbering.
For Item Renumbering a Group By Category, you would use the Bulk Renumbering functionality.
Example: Renumbering Silent Auction Items
In this example, we want to renumber our Silent Items only so the first "category" starts at 100, 101, 102, etc. and the next "category" at 200, 201, 202, etc.
Settings
There are four fields to set in the Settings panel at the top of the page.
