Auctions - Fair Warning

The importance of the Auctions section is huge, after all without Auctions we would not be here. When you first click to bring up Auctions, it gives you a Datagrid with the ability to filter the ones you may be looking for, as well as the tool to Add New Auction, as the button says.

The Datagrid, as is usual on Snoofa, comes with links, e.g., Auction name is a link to that Auctions Dashboard. Lots is a link to, the Catalogue, & Registrations (Regs) a link to those registered for the Auction in question.

Once inside Auctions, using the links, you are brought to the Auction menu, giving you Dashboard, Catalogue, Registrations, Bid History, & Preview Catalogue. As well as links to get to Cashiers and Edit Auction. Below we will explain those individual sections. 

Let's not forget the big orange button saying, Add New Auction. For what you need to know, please see that article.

Items - Adding & Editing

A wise man once said,  Items are not Lots, Lots are not Items. But an Item can have Lots, like a mother can have children. Therefore a Lot must have an Item, like a child must have a mother. See more here: Items - Adding & Editing
