Terminology

Learn how to choose whether Auctria uses event-based or auction-based terms for your event.

Auctria offers two sets of terms: Event Based (the default) and Auction Based. The set you choose changes the wording used throughout Auctria for your event. For example, a banner might read Event Archived or Auction Archived.

About this User Guide

The User Guide uses Event Based terms. If your event uses Auction Based terms, the wording you see in Auctria may differ slightly, but the features work the same way.
