Lot numbers determine the order in which lots uploaded to an auction will appear on the auction's lot list page.

Lots are assigned a lot number on adding to the auction, either via the lot numbers imported via the CSV file upload, or as automatically assigned on adding the lots to the auction.

If you wish to change the order of the lots this is done under Schedule Lots.

Note:

• For Timed auctions, the lot number also sets the time at which bidding on each lot will close in the auction.
• The end time for Lot 1 will be automatically fixed to the auction’s Prespecified First Item Close Time as set in Set Up. Each subsequent lot will be set 2 minutes apart.
• In the event that the timings for an auction are changed after lots have been added to the auction you MUST RE-SCHEDULE the lots to update the close times.

All lots allocated to the auction are listed in this table.

Note :

• The lot numbers assigned on adding the lots to the auction will pre-populate the lot number column. The lot number will also appear in the [Set Lot Number] column.
• If you want to make any adjustments to the lot numbering then simply change the number in the [Set Lot Number] column to the required lot number.
• Be sure to check that there are no duplicate lot numbers or 0 lots numbers. Selecting 'Show [All] entries' can make this easier.

Once you are happy that the lot numbering is all correct click on the [Schedule Lots] button at the bottom of the table to set the lot numbers and the auction end times for each lot.

You can also choose to use the [Auto Schedule] function at the top of the table, setting the lot numbers by one of the automatic parameters in the drop down, ie alphabetical, by value, etc.

Note : If you change the 'Prespecified First Lot Close Time' for an auction after lots have been allocated the close times for all lots in the auction will automatically update, however you will need to reschedule the lots so that the end times are updated in the admin view. Just open Schedule Lots, the new times will show in the table and click on the [Schedule Lots] button at the bottom of the table.
