Auction Events
The AuctionBuilder Dashboard lists all of the Proxibid events that have not yet been archived or deleted. Each section contains a different auction event. Within each event is information relating to the event's registered bidders (Bidder Participation), the number of catalog views, the number of pre-bids submitted, and the total of all pre-bids.
Each section also contains a graph displaying daily bidder participation over the last 14 calendar days. Hover over a column to see how many bidders participated in the event on a particular day. Weekends are in light blue, while weekdays are in dark blue.
