# Bidding Report

This provides an overview of the overall bidding, by lot, for a single auction. It can be accessed through a tab within the auction manager. 

It shows, line by line, the current position for each lot. You can see how long is left, the current high bid and the winning bidder, alongside reserve values.

By pressing 'View Bids' you can see the individual bids on each lot. Initially 3 bids will be shown, and 'Show More Bids' will show the next 10 bids. This can be repeated for the entire list.

You can expose the underlying bids and the underbidders for each lot. You can have as many of these open at any one time as you need. These will update in real time as bids are made on your auction.

This pop out list will also show those bids placed by an autobid (Proxy Bid) and the current autobid amount.&#x20;

Dates and times are also displayed for each bid, as well as the latest bid when all bids are hidden, on the corresponding lot row.
