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 do not have a description.

WARNING

This operation can overwrite the existing item description if the "Apply to all basket descriptions even if the description is already set" option is enabled.

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.
