Set Basket Descriptions

You can use the Set Basket Description function to generate a description for your "Basket" configured items. This is best used when your basket items need a description.

WARNING

If enabled by the "Apply to all basket descriptions even if the description is already set," this operation can overwrite the existing item description.

To use the Set Basket Description, from the main Auction Dashboard, click through Items then Baskets & Packages under the Actions sidebar menu to the Set Basket Description entry. Clicking on this will open the Basket Descriptions dashboard page.

The Basket Descriptions dashboard Options section provides a default template and two checkbox properties.

The template structures the description using Liquid placeholders; additional examples can be found on the Baskets & Forms page.

The checkboxes provide logical choices for the template to be applied to.

  • Apply to all basket descriptions even if the description is already set is disabled by default as it will be applied to ALL basket items and replace their entire description.

Enabling this options WILL overwrite the existing Basket item descriptions.

  • Only affect non-empty baskets (baskets without contents will not be updated) is enabled by default and will only apply the template to those basket items without a description.
