New features including automated auction close and item purchase report

Happy August! As the summer heat intensifies, as well as the fires here in Colorado, I think we are all getting a little weary. But never fear, our hard working product and development team have continued to press forward with new features and improvements to the platform.

Handbid's New Features Update


Automated Auction Close Feature

With more events going online, the desire to close an event at a future date and time has been a big request. Now, you can schedule your auction to close at some point in the future and go to bed. Handbid will wake itself up right at that time and close your auction and process your invoices!

To schedule a future date, simply click on the “Stop Auction” menu item and select “Close Auction by Timer”. There you will be met with a new dialog that will allow you to schedule a future auction close time.

Item Purchase Report - Pull list of purchasers

We have developed a report that will show you the individual list of purchasers of a forSale item in Handbid.  

This report will take any forSale item you designate (you do that on the item’s settings) and run a report for you showing you every purchase. So, if you had a user purchase 5 items, they would show up in the report 5 times. You can then randomize this list and then randomly (from the randomized list) select a row from the list.

We hope you love these additions. We have a few more things coming in our next release we are excited to share (when they are done of course).

Have a great rest of the Summer!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
