When setting up your auction and adding items, you can have the ability to group them into separate "sets." These sets allow you to categorize your items, making it easier for bidders to find what they're interested in. Additionally, you can configure each set to close automatically on specific dates and times, allowing you to hold multiple auctions throughout your event.

To configure your sets, head to the Items tab within the Auction section of your Event Manager and click the “Add Auction Set” button:

A dialog box will appear, allowing you to configure your settings. First, give your set a name. For example, if your event includes two activities, e.g., golf and tennis, you could create separate sets named "Golf" and "Tennis." You will then have the option to enable the following features: display the auction set on your site, automatically notify winning bidders once the auction has ended, and schedule the auction to end automatically at a specific date and time:

In the example above, I have scheduled the auction to close on November 26, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. Since I have enabled the system to notify winners when the auction ends, a notification email and/or text message will automatically be sent to the winning bidders. You can customize your notification preferences in the Auction > Settings tab located below Items.

NOTE: When adding/editing your items, make sure "Display on Auction Page" is enabled so your item(s) are visible on the site:
