Creating your own screen layout in RFH Auction

In RFH Auction, you can customise your screen layout. This allows you to decide what information you see and where it appears on the screen.

In the settings menu, go to Appearance and select Create a layout.

The layout is created based on your screen resolution and whether you’re using RFH Auction in full-screen mode.

You can start with an existing basic layout or create a new one yourself.

Select Empty layout and then Create layout to open the layout editor.

In the editor, you can:

When using a blank screen, all components are available. As soon as you add a component, unavailable components are displayed in light grey.

Most components can only be added once. Some components, such as secondary clocks or lot photo, can be used multiple times.

Added components appear immediately in the layout. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a red line. If you place a component below this line, you’ll need to scroll later to view that information.

Now that you’ve added your chosen components, you can start customising them.

Click on a component to select it. The title bar will then turn black.

Moving a component

Move your mouse over the black title bar. The cursor will change to an icon with four arrows. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the component to the desired location on your screen.

Resizing a component

Move your mouse to the bottom-right corner of the component. Hold down the left mouse button and drag to make the component larger or smaller. Some components have a minimum size, so you cannot make them arbitrarily small.

Removing a component

Click on the bin icon in the top right-hand corner of the title bar. The component will be removed from your screen but will remain available to add again later.

Adjusting component settings

Click on the pencil icon in the title bar. The settings for the selected component will appear on the right-hand side of the screen. The settings available vary depending on the component.

Clock overview

You can:

Compact clock overview

This component displays the selected clocks in a horizontal view.

Upcoming lots

By default, this component displays the upcoming lots from the main clock.

Would you like to display lots from secondary clocks as well? If so, switch the toggle on. You can also specify how many lots per clock are visible.

You can also:

The latter is useful if the component is positioned above or below the main clock.

Main clock

This component can only be made larger or smaller. No other settings are available.

Active lot

You can set whether the photo of the next batch is displayed.

Depending on the chosen width of the component, the information is displayed vertically or horizontally.

You can add up to two lot photos to a layout. You can choose whether to display the active lot or the first upcoming lot.
