The Bidding tab lets you watch every bid across your auction items in real time.

Open the Bidding view

1. Open the auction.
2. Click Bidding in the workspace navigation.

What you see

The tab lists every bid placed, each showing the auction item, the bidder's name, the bid amount, the bid date and time, and the item value.

Finding a bid

• Search by bidder name or auction item name.
• Sort by bidder name, item value, bid amount, and more.

Where bids come from

Supporters place bids themselves on the public auction form; staff do not enter them. Argenta records each bid, enforces the minimum next bid, and tracks the current high bidder on every item automatically.

Removing a bid

If a bid needs to come off, click the pink delete icon on that bid. Argenta removes it and recalculates the item's winning bid and next bid, so use it carefully; it can change who is winning.

After bidding closes

Bidding closes at the auction's end date and time. The highest valid bid on each item wins. Review the winners, then set the auction status to Complete.
