How do I link multiple auctions together for invoicing? (Using Linked Auction Groups)

(Please note: If you are a legacy client who still uses Wavebid, you cannot use this feature. It is a feature that can only be used with BidWrangler Auction Management tools).

The linked auctions feature gives you the option to link multiple auction containers into one auction event. Perhaps you are running two rings in an auction. Or maybe your auction spans multiple days. Using the new linked auctions feature, you can now get combined invoices and reports from multiple auction containers. You can still catalog into multiple groups, but your paddle numbers, invoices, etc., will be treated as one auction, simplifying time consuming administration tasks!

• Any combination of timed, timed-to-live, and live auctions can be linked.
• Auctions can be combined even if they have different terms. This will not send a notice to any bidders who have already registered. (If new terms are different, consider whether you may wish to cancel existing registrations for legal reasons, and have bidders re-register.)
• Auctions can be linked even after they have started and have registrations and bids.
• When auctions are combined any existing registrations will be assigned a higher paddle number in order to avoid conflicts of paddle number.

To create a linked auction:

1) Create a new linked auction group using the left navigation menu in the admin area.

2) Create your auctions in BidWrangler and choose the linked auction group at the top of the auction page in the admin area.
