Archiving lots

Managing the post-auction process

PreviousPublishing lotsNextReporting

Last updated 1 year ago

In a similar way to the publication process there is an archiving process for the post-auction period.

Once the auction finishes the 'Archive Lot' lots button will appear.

At this point selected lots can be Archived and hidden from view of the bidders. You may wish to do this once an auction has finished to prevent competitors from seeing your sale prices.

However for a period of time you may also wish to leave the lots on display so interested bidders can see the outcome. We would recommend you do this for the remainder of the day at most, and then hide the lots by archiving them.

You can select the lots you wish to ARCHIVE, but setting the toggle 'Ready for archive' from white to green.

One the items have been selected, you press the 'Archive Lots' button shown at the top of the page, and the corresponding lots will be moved from the Published tab to the Archived tab.

You will see the badge showing the number in each tab corresponding to the status of the lots set to that status.
