Event Closing
[ToDo]: # (Sort out the child pages order."
Once your event's auction has ended, you will generally want to close out the items that were available, at least those items considered as Biddable and also review your Non-Biddable items (For Sale type and Donation type items).
There may also be some key reports you will want to look at immediately as well.
Closing Online Bidding
One of the first things to consider when your event ends is closing out the items that were available. For your Biddable items, this will be mostly taken care of by the Online Bidding Times you have set. For Biddable items, bidding will be closed at their respective Online Bidding End Times although this is not the same with For Sale items and Donation items, these are managed differently.
For more information see Closing Online Bidding.
