The software assigns each contact in a group with a unique identifying (ID) number. For groups using the optional AuctionDay™ component, the contact's ID number doubles as a bidder number. Auction assistants and administrators can print the bidder numbers after editing the contact record to mark appropriate contacts as "Attending." Bidders must use the bidder number assigned by the software in order for auction assistants to generate invoices and use the other check-out functions offered by the optional AuctionDay™ component.

Using bidder numbers to bid on auction items is the recommended best practice as this is easier for bidders and provides a level of privacy. Also, it is typically much easier to read a number than someone's hand writing.

To print bidder numbers individually

1. From the AuctionDay page Check-In Functions section, select an attendee from the drop-down list and click Print Bidder Number.
2. Optionally, select the attendee from the drop-down list and click Print Info Sheet to have the attendee update the contact information on paper.

Auction administrators can print all of the bidder numbers for those contacts attending an event from the Auction Administrator page. Additionally, administrators can print all bidder numbers collated with the contact info sheets, or print the contact info sheets separately.

1. Click on the Auction Admin menu item.
2. In the Auction Day Printed Material section, click the Print All Bidder Numbers link.
3. At the Print dialog box, click OK.
