Let's Learn
If you're used to the classic BiddingForGood interface, some settings have moved in the new UI. This article is a quick-reference guide to help you find what you're looking for.
Homepage & Visual Settings
| What you're looking for | Old UI location | New UI location |
|---|---|---|
| Banner image | Event > Homepage > Banner | Event > Homepage > Edit Homepage > Hero Image |
| Colors & branding | Event > Homepage > Colors | Event > Web Site > Colors |
| Social media buttons | Event > Homepage > Social Media |
Event > Homepage > Edit Homepage > Social Media Note: This feature is currently under enhancement and will be rolled out soon. |
| Sponsor display / logos | Donors > Sponsorship Center |
Donors > Sponsorship Center (same location) Tip: In the new UI, sponsors not appearing after saving may take up to 15 minutes to refresh on the live page. |
| Hide "View All Items" link | Event > Homepage > Display Options |
Event > Homepage > Edit Homepage > Display Options Changes may take up to 10 minutes to appear on the live page. |
| Fundraising thermometer | Event > Homepage > Thermometer |
Event > Homepage > Edit Homepage > Auction Thermometer The thermometer reflects confirmed donations and closed items — not live bids. |
| Coming Soon page | Event > Homepage > Coming Soon | Event > Homepage > Edit Homepage > Coming Soon |
Event Setup & Administration
| What you're looking for | Old UI location | New UI location |
|---|---|---|
| Set starting bid as % of value | Items > Create/Edit Item > Pricing |
Items > Create/Edit Item > Pricing Details > Opening Bid Enter the opening bid amount manually — there is no automatic percentage calculator in the current new UI. Multiply the item value by your desired percentage (e.g., 30% of $500 = $150 opening bid). |
| Absentee bid sheets | Event > Live Event > Print Materials |
Event > Live Event > Print Materials > Absentee Bid Sheets Absentee bid sheets are only available for auctions with a Live Event enabled. |
| Guest list (attendee management) | Event > Guests — showed attending, bidder, and CC-on-file columns |
Event > Guests The attending/bidder/CC-on-file status columns from the classic UI are no longer displayed as separate columns. To check a guest's bidder and payment status, click on their name to open their individual profile. |
| Add/manage guests post-ticket-purchase | Event > Guests > Add Guest |
Close Out > Ticket Orders > [Order] > Edit Guest Info Guests added after ticket purchase can be managed directly on the ticket order. |
| Email scheduling | Promotion > Emails > Schedule |
Promotion > Emails > Create/Edit Email > Schedule Send After scheduling, the email list view shows the scheduled date. If emails show a past date immediately after scheduling, do not resend — contact support to confirm the schedule is active. |
| Item lot number search | Items > Search by Lot # | Items > search bar — enter the lot number directly. If search returns no results for a known lot number, try searching by item name as a workaround, or contact support. |
| Edit Buy It Now receipt text | Event > Emails > Buy It Now Confirmation | Promotion > Emails > Buy It Now Receipt — select the email template to edit the body text sent to purchasers after a Buy It Now transaction. |
| Remove Buy It Now item from Coming Soon | Items > Edit Item > Section | Items > Edit Item > Section Assignment — change the section to "Hidden" or a different section to remove it from Coming Soon without deleting it. |
| Table for 10 — remove bidder number assignment | Event > Tickets > Edit Ticket | Event > Tickets > Edit Ticket > Guest Settings — uncheck "Assign bidder numbers to guests" if you do not want table guests automatically assigned bidder numbers. |
Close Out & Payments
| What you're looking for | Notes for new UI |
|---|---|
| Quick sales |
Close Out > Quick Sales > Create Quick Sale Bidder lookup uses first name, last name, or email. If "no matching bidders found" appears for a registered bidder, try searching by email address only. |
| Award items / process payments | In the new UI, Buy Now and donation payments are processed in real-time at checkout — no manual confirmation needed. Bid/auction items still require awarding through Close Out > Award Items. |
| Offline donations | Close Out > Offline Donations > Add Offline Donation |
