Authorized organization staff

Optional auction portal

Use the separate auction portal when fundraising auctions are enabled for your organization.

1Open and prepare an event

  1. An authorized platform administrator must enable auction access for the organization. Once enabled, organization administrators can open Auction portal from their workspace.
  2. Create an event and choose its mode, venue details, and schedule. Add item names, descriptions, images, starting bids, and bid increments.
  3. Review the event and items before publishing or opening bidding.

2Register bidders and record bids

  1. Register each bidder with the correct name and contact details. Use the assigned bidder number rather than inventing a new number at each station.
  2. Staff working on the same event should confirm the active event and current bidder before recording a bid.
  3. Use the live bidding controls to record the intended bidder and amount. Check the updated bid record; refresh if a station is out of date.

3Close and reconcile

  1. Close an item only when bidding on that item should end, then verify the winning bidder and amount.
  2. Review the event ledger and reconcile auction results with your organization’s records.
  3. Auction bidder records are separate from student applications and scholarship decisions.
