Organizations

Events are managed by Organizations in Auctria. A User Account can simultaneously associate with one or more Organizations. To access your Organizations Dashboard page from the main Event Dashboard, click through the Organizations entry in the sidebar menu.

User Accounts

The Organizations Dashboard provides for many operations in Auctria, such as adding New Auctions, adding User Accounts, creating new Organizations, uploading Logos, and much more. These functions and features are available based on the Permissions associated with your User Account.

User Permissions

Details

When you open the Organizations Dashboard, the Details tab is displayed by default. This tab lets you modify some commonly used information for the Organization.

Organization

  • Name
    This is the name that will be used for the Organization.

Contact Information

  • Email
    This primary contact email address will be shown and used with various pages and forms.
  • Billing Email
    Enter the email address Auctria should contact about billing and license renewals if different from the "Email" address above.
  • Phone
    A contact telephone number.
  • Website
    An external website address URL.

IMPORTANT

The email address fields used on the Organization's page must use a valid email address and should only contain a single address. Addresses must be correctly formatted, or you may experience issues when sending emails.

Address

The address here will be copied to the Text Profile Dashboard Address section.
These addresses use the same reference data.

Suppose the Organization is using the Text Messages feature set. In that case, this address should be the legal registration address for the Organization. Otherwise, it is common practice to use the local organization address here if they are different.

Settings

  • Timezone
    This generally matches the physical event/auction location chosen from a drop-down selector.
  • Currency
    The default currency for the event is chosen from a drop-down selector of currently supported currencies.
  • Bcc Email (receives copies of all emails)
    This email address will effectively receive copies of all emails except ones containing proxy bid information.

Social Media

You can define the default Social Media Links for your Organization, which will be used on the Event Website and in the default Email Footer. Use the Social Media tab to enter your Organization's appropriate social media account username or full address as needed.

INFORMATION

In most cases, you only need to specify each site's social media platform's user ID (or profile identifier). You do not need to add the full URL; Auctria will automatically generate the correct URL link using these details.

The current social media sites:

  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • LinkedIn
  • Pinterest
  • X (formerly known as Twitter)
  • YouTube

Logos

Use the Logos tab to add the Organization logo. This will be the fallback if an Auction logo is not set.

img

You may add one or more images to each Organization. Adding an image to an organization makes that image available to be included in the auction catalog and forms.

Images are best having less than 1MB in size. PNG, JPG, and GIF file formats are accepted.

To upload or add an image, click the Logos tab and then the Upload New Image button.

The precise dimension is not critical (since screen sizes will vary), although a width roughly in the following ranges will work well in most cases:

  • for "full-width" photos or images, a width of around 1200px is best;
  • for "half-width" photos or images, a width around 600px should be used; and,
  • Page background images work well up to 1600px wide.

See Adding And Modifying Images under Learning Auctria for additional reference.

Connections

The Connections tab shows the Organizations (Contact Information) email address status, Stripe.com connection, etc.
