Participants
This is where you can work with your participants from your event, including editing, renumbering, participant statements, and the tables and seating feature set.
PARTICIPANTS
In Auctria, we use the term "Participant" to inclusively represent anyone who contributes to the event, whether it's through bidding, purchasing, or donating.

Participants are central to your event. You can register Participants individually, through the Event Website, or import them using an XLS formatted file. There are no "hard" limits on the number of Participants you can have registered for your events.
All payments and purchases processed through the Event Website require a Participant Record; if one does not exist, the checkout process will create one. This requirement is especially true for recording payments using our credit cards.
To access the Participants Dashboard, click through Participants from the main event dashboard.
Participants Dashboard
You can add a new participant from the main banner of the Participants Dashboard by clicking on the + icon. You can use the Choose Participant drop-down auto-populating selector to search for a specific participant by typing their name or paddle number.
