Online Sale Editor

There have been changes in the sale setup wizard to provide extra options for booking in lots from the Auctionmarts mobile app.

Sale Setup Wizard

Sale Is Private Invite

Private sale invite keeps the sale private and allows the auctioneer to arrange the sale and lot catalogue as they want, double check all is in order before allowing the general public to view the online catalogue. The only issue with this is no advance advert is visible for the sale. The update below addresses this short fall. You can still have a private sale linked to the lots for just the auctioneer to see but have a place holder advert attached so the public can see details of the upcoming sale without seeing the online catalogue until the auctioneer is ready to make this public.

Show Place Holder Advert

Shows a place holder advert for a private sale. When private sale is unticked, the advert is replaced by the full sale and online catalogue.

Booking In Page

This page enables auctioneers to control the users and times that people with the app can book lots in.

Initially in this release we suggest the default Auctioneers only is used.

Booking In Type

The default setting is for only members of the auctioneer firm to be able to book lots into NAS from the app.

The booking in types are explained below.

Auctioneers Only

This is the default setting and only allows auction staff setup in the Online Sale Editor Auction Staff Group in NAS to create lots in the app.

Auctioneers & Members of booking in users

Auctioneers and members of booking in users can enter lots via the app.

All registered buyers

Anyone approved to buy with the auctioneer can also book in lots.

Auctioneers and private invited members

This booking in type allows auctioneers and private invited members to use the app to enter lots.

Private invited members only

Only privately invited members will be able to view the sale in the create lot sale list. Auctioneers will not see this sale list unless they are explicitly added as a private member for this booking in type.

Disabled for all users

The sale will not be visible in the app sale list when the user clicks create lot. Therefore no user can booking into this sale. This is an intentional setting if the auctioneer does not wish to take entries from the mobile app.

The sale can still be viewed under auctions on the app if Show Place Holder Advert is ticked and the sale is private.

Groups

The Booking In Type choices are linked to user groups set up in the privacy settings within the Online Sale Editor (OSE).

Booking In Dates

A start and end date for allowing bookings via the app can be set for users other than the auctioneers, to enable the auctioneer to retain control of when the sale is visible in the app for lot entry. If ignore for auctioneers is ticked auction staff can still use the app outside of this time to add lots.

Terms & Conditions

When we progress to letting sellers use the app if the auctioneer gives them permission they will have to accept your seller T&Cs. These are setup in the same place as your buyer T&Cs and selected when you setup a sale.

Sale Name

You will need an Auctionmarts account, permission from the auctioneer granted within NAS as noted above and the app. The app will eventually be available on app stores but currently you need to be sent an email link by Newline support team.
