Organizing Items

Changing Item numbers will change them throughout the entire system, bid sheets etc. Although you can alter individual numbers through the item Detail screen, it is much easier to change them under the Table tab in the context of your other items.

Getting on the Tables page

1. Log on.
2. Click on Tables tab.
3. Type in password. Renumbering items should not be done by anyone haphazardly. For example, you do not want to change numbers after you have printed your bid sheets. If no activity occurs for five minutes on the Table page, the password will have to be reentered.

Starting Table Settings

When items are entered, the Type sets a default number of the next available number on that Table.
Item Type        Starting Item Number
Live          1
Silent          100
Sellable          800
Signup          900
Raffle          975
Ad Sales/Bequests/Donations    1000
