Explore the Main Page
After signing in, you will land on the main page where you can use the main menu to navigate to different feature sets and use the Auction Dashboard to see an overview of your event.
Navigate from the Main Menu
The left-hand side of the screen contains the main menu. The current section will be highlighted. Click on a section to open its specific dashboard. You can collapse the menu by clicking on the "three line" icon in the top-left corner.
To expand or collapse the menu, use the arrow (< or >) icon at the bottom of the list.
Menu Shortcuts
At the top of the menu are four shortcut icons:
These icons are respectively shortcuts to:
- Items > All Items
- Bidders > All Bidders
- the auction website (clicking this will open in a separate browser tab)
- the Auctria Resources page (new)
Follow Breadcrumbs
As you click through different pages they will appear as a 'breadcrumb' trail at the top of the page allowing you to easily jump back to a previous page by clicking on the breadcrumb link.
Using The Search Options
At the top of page, a header bar with event details on the left and icons on the right is available.
There are two search related icons available. A "magnifying glass" to search the event details, and a "circled question mark" to search the User Guide.
Search The Event
To search the event, click the "magnifying glass" icon. This will replace the header bar with a search box you can enter your query into.
Type the name, or term, you are looking for and click one of the results to open its details page.
Search The User Guide
Clicking on the "circled question mark" icon will open the "Search For Help" search box.
As you type your search term into the search box results will be displayed below linking directly to the User Guide reference displayed in the dynamically generated results. This is the same search algorithm used in the User Guide itself.
