Numbering Items

There are 2 ways to number your items.

When numbering items it's our best practice to start at 100 or above to utilize Clickbids auto indexing of item numbers. When selecting a starting item number series, the auto indexing will index from the lowest number greater than 100. The use of items below 100 is acceptable but auto indexing will not occur and will need to be manually entered.

1) Spreadsheet

You can organize your items by Category or in Numerical order via an Item Spreadsheet.

Use the Item spreadsheet located under Items > Manage Items. Group them in hundreds according to category. Let's say you have 5 items for your electronics category, 4 items for your Beauty Category, and 2 Items for your Trips category, here is what this should look like:

Notice how when a new category starts the number jumps up by 100 leaving room for any items that come in last minute.

* * * This allows an organization to get started with their item import without worrying about adding an item down the road. They can simply add it to the end of their numbering for that group. "Oh snap, we got another Apple Watch!" No problem, just add it to the end of the electronics numbering, in this case, it would be item 105.

* * * Once you have uploaded your item spreadsheet, go to Items > Manage Categories & Ordering to put them in the order you want them to appear on the bidding site. See below:

2)Manual Adjustment

Under Items > Manage Items, under the Number column, you also have the ability to change the item number. By clicking on the item number, you will get a popup that will allow you to change the item name.

Note: You can only change this item number if there are currently no bids on the item.
