Maxanet system update includes the following:
New Wordpress Plugin. The newest version of the WP plugin will display a countdown timer for each auction, multiple highlight photos, as well as some styling updates. The plugin also has separate shortcodes for Search, Category dropdown, and Auction Type dropdowns. This will alllow you to position the elements on the page as you see fit. We will need to update client websites manually, 1 at a time. Please contact us at Support@Maxanet.com.
Admin: Auction: Add/Edit Auction: New Staggered Ending Option in Seconds
Check the 'Custom Staggered Ending' option and you can now enter the time in Seconds. In the example above, it is set to 20 seconds which means that every 20 seconds an item will end. In other words, at 8:00:00 the first item ends, at 8:00:20 the second item ends, at 8:00:40 the 3rd item ends, and at 8:01:00 the 4th item ends, etc.
Admin: Auction: Invoices: Offline Items. A new button has been added to the Invoices tab allowing the admin to create new inventory items after the auction is ended. You can then add these items to invoices through the Invoice: Action menu: Edit option. We will be streamlining this process in future updates.
Text Message Outbid Notifications: New Bidder Registration Opt-In option. We are getting closer to releasing the optional Text Message outbid notification feature for all clients. If enabled on your account, we now have an option for the new bidder registration form where potential bidders can opt-in or opt-out of these text messages during the registration process.
Admin: Auction: Add/Edit Auction: Minimum Starting Bid. You can now add an auction level minimum starting bid right from the Add/Edit auction page. This will also be added to the Mobile App in the near future.
Admin: Auction: Items: MS Excel Inventory: Allow hyperlinks in description & custom column headers. You can now add HTML hyperlinks into your custom column headers in Excel. An example: <a href="https://www.maxanet.com">Maxanet Website</a>
Admin: Auction: Items: List of No-Bid Items. On the Items tab, click on the grey Filter button - there is now a new option at the bottom to select items with or without bids. Click Apply to filter the Items to only show items that did not receive a bid.
Admin: Auction: Menu order updated. The black colored 'Menu' button on the Auction Dashboard has been updated with a new order of the dropdown menu.
Admin: Configurations: Public Page Config: Show Items Toggle for Open Items or All Items. Several months ago we released an update that set the default of the Filter on the public auction pages to display the 'Open Items' and hide the ended items. Some clients did not like this feature so we reverted it back. Now we've added it as a client level toggle switch called 'Show Items' in the public page configuration so you can turn it on or off. If set to 'Open Items', when a bidder enters the auction after it's started to close, they will not see items that have already ended.
Public: Auction Pages: Item in Extended Bidding: Update to Countdown Timer. The background color and styling of the red colored 'extended' box has been updated.
Admin: Auction Terms Changed - Bidders must re-accept the Terms. If the Admin updates the Terms of the auction, all bidders will be forced to agree to these updated terms before placing another bid.
Admin: Auctions: Live Assistant - outbid emails fixed. An update was made to fix an issue where if the admin used the Live Assistant to place a bid, the outbid notification email was not being generated to a bidder who may have been outbid.
Go To Admin: Permissions: Create Category Permission bug fix. There was a bug where the permission for a company User to create a category from the Inventory section was not working correctly.
