Showing Count-Down Timers

Having a visible count-down timer and/or an announcer calling the close of each section further increases the excitement level and alerts attendees as sections prepare to close. Silent Auction Pro provides simple HTML-based count-down timers that you can project at your event.

To show a count-down timer
  1. Click the Communication Tools > Event Display Features menu item.
  2. Locate the Leaderboards and other display features section of the page
  3. Type a section title, such as Section 1 Closes In... in the title text box.
  4. Click the Show timer button.

The count-down timer launches in a new window with the title you provided. Enter the amount of time left for that section and click the start button. If the timer does not show up in a new window, make sure your browser is not blocking pop-up windows.

The Count-Down timer is meant for display purposes only. It can not control actual bidding times. If you have either the Mobile Plus™ or Mobile Pro™ package and want the software to automatically manage different closing times by section, you will need to enable that feature on the Online Catalog Tools page.
