This system updates includes the following:
Public:Auction:Calendar Page:Advanced Search - we've added a new 'advanced search' hyperlink beneath the Search box on the Calendar page. For clients using Wordpress, we also have a new update to the Maxanet Wordpress Plugin that includes a shortcode that can be added to your main website that will display the search box.
Public:Auction:Auction Pages:Current/Max Bid Totals - when a bidder is logged in and viewing the auction they will now see their current totals and maxbid totals at the top of every auction page.
Public:Auction:Auction Pages:Filters - when a bidder has a Filter(s) applied to the inventory view, the filter will now stay in place until the User clicks the red colored 'clear filters' link/button.
Public:Auction:Auction Pages:Icons - the icons at the top of the page (Catalog, Directions, Highlights, Notes, Terms) and the words beneath them are now hyperlinked.
Admin:Auction:Dashboard:Metrics - helpful data has been added to each Auction Dashboard page including:
Top 10 Bidders in the event
Most Watched Items
Hottest Items
Highest Current Bid Items
Highest Max Bid Items
We are planning on making future updates to the dashboard to include Google Analytics information such as pageview data for the specific auction.
Admin:GoToAdmin:Roles & Permissions - new Roles & Permissions have been added to the system as detailed below. The main updates are the ability for the admin to hide the ability of a certain company user from seeing current or max bid totals and disabling the viewing of a bidder profile. Full list of updates:
Auctions:Auction List: Auction Totals, Auction Current Totals, Auction Max Bid Total
Auctions:Auction Items: Current Bid, Max Bid
Auctions: Auction Totals: Max Bid Total, Current Bid Total
Administration:Users: Mark Active, Mark Inactive
Users:User List: Credit Card Required, Enable/Disable Bidding
Users:User Details: View Activity, Current Total, Max Total, User Details, Tax Exemption On/Off
Users:Tax Exemption: View List, Add Exemption, Edit Exemption, Download, Approve Exemption, Reject Exemption
Admin:Auction:Items Page:Filter:Bidder - a new 'bidder' option has been added to the grey Filter button on the Items page. This allows the admin to quickly sort and view only specific bidders current winning bids from the Items page.
Admin:Configuration:Public Page Configuration:Choose Category - New Label options for 'Choose Category'.
As seen in the above screenshot, you can now relabel with the following options:
On the public page, the above screenshot shows the location on the page where this updates the language. This can be very helpful for clients who want to display a custom view for the public & their bidders to quickly filter the auctions by these types.
Admin:Users:New Status Buttons/labels - if you view your Admin:Users page you'll notice new labels showing under the Status column which can help you quickly identify the status of a bidder without having to go into their Bidder Profile page.
Active in green
Inactive in red (bidder cannot log in)
Bidding On in blue
Bidding Off in red (bidder can log in but cannot bid)
Admin:Auction:Items:Add/Edit Item:Duplicate Photos - we've added a checkbox next to the word 'Photos'. When this is checked (and turns green) and you click on the blue colored 'Save & Duplicate' button, the photos will copy over to the newly created inventory item. We will be adding new bulk photo duplication options in a future update.
Some other smaller updates include:
Bidder passwords - there was an issue with the forward slash ( \ ) not being an accepted character which has now been fixed.
Admin:Users:Settlements - a display issue has been fixed where FEES were shown as duplicated to the admin (but not actually duplicated on the Settlement itself)
Admin:Auction:Items:Inventory - a fix was introduced for empty inventory templates creation when inventory was imported via MS Excel.
Admin:Users:Inactive Users - there was an issue where previously when a bidder was marked as Inactive, their bid history was hidden to the admin in the system.
