How To Pre-Populate Bid Sheet Values

Learn how to print bid amounts on every row of your bid sheets, based on each item's starting bid and bid increment.

By default, only the first row of a bid sheet shows an amount: the item's starting bid. With All bids, every row is filled in, adding the bid increment each time. If the item has a Buy-It-Now price, the amounts stop there.

Items Need a Starting Bid and Bid Increment

Bid amounts are only filled in for items that have both a Starting Bid and a Bid Increment.


Steps

  1. From the main event dashboard, click Printing → Bid Sheets, then click the Options tab.

  2. Click the pencil icon on the Content panel.

  3. Set Include bid values to All bids.

  5. Click the checkmark to save.
