  Item Packaging
Packaging your donations, assigning them to your various sales, and putting them in the order you want doesn't have to be hard.  The form below shows all the donations for your event.  Here, they are sorted by project tag first, making it easy to package these items together.  You can also choose to hide items from the list, if they've already been packaged, or if you have not yet received them.
AuctionBase Add Donations Form
Many of your packages will only contain one donation.  For these, just select which sale you want the package sold in, select the donation, and click "Create New Package With Donation."  A new package will be added to the sale with the next item number.  Best yet, when creating packages this way, AuctionBase's Auto-Init feature runs automatically.  Each new package will have its title, description, conditions, and credits fields filled in from their donation's data.  Packaging all your single items can be done in minutes!
 
At the top of the auction packages form, shown below, all of your packages are displayed in an ordered, searchable list. Below the list are the details of the selected item.
AuctionBase Auction Item Packaging Form
Once you have a few packages put together, you may wish to rearrange them. This is especially important for presentation effects during your live auction. To move an item to a new position in the order, simply type the item number in place of the old one.  AuctionBase will sort it into its new place.

What if you change the information for a package after printing your bid sheets, displays, or catalog?  No problem.  AuctionBase keeps track of items that have changed, and marks them to be updated.  You can reprint just the bid sheets or displays that have been changed.  Printing a catalog addendum is easy.  Only new packages and those that have been changed will be included in the print job.  Of course, you can always include or exclude any item from printing if you wish.
