Changing the status of a bunch of lots at once.  

Is there a way to change the status of several auction lots at once, instead of having to do them one at a time?

Thanks!

Hi,

Sure,

Go to the Grid view. HIghlight the lots you want to change the status on so they are blue.

Right click and select Change status to >>>

Well, that works but it doesn't exactly do what I want to do. It doesn't give me the opportunity to include the queued lots in my website.

I want to take a group of auction lots, change them from "never listed" or "offline" to "Queued for listing" and then send them to my website. I can do that if I work them one at the time via the "auction site >> queue lot for listing" routine, but I want to be able to do maybe a dozen or more at one time.

Is this possible?

HI,

OH, oh, oh,,, I didn't understand you were trying to Queue lots.

That is absolutely doable... I use the Grid View all of the time for that...

Go into the Grid View. HIghlight all the Auction lot records that you want to Queue for listing onto a particular website.
Then look on the center divider toolbar on the far left. There are three sets of tools there. The Show/Hide records. And two others. Arrows going in and one with arrows the other way.
choose the last one, When you put your mouse over it you get the tooltip to Queue lots for listing. Click it and the Queue lots for listing box appears. you can select the website in the drop down menu click OK and AW2K will Queue the selected records for listing.

Does that help?

Judy, thanks for your help, again. That's exactly what I wanted to do.

I'm using this to park unsold and/or not-yet-listed items on my website in the form of catalog pages. I've wanted to do this before, but never wanted to spend the time to set up the pages, templates, etc. Auction Wizard makes all this easy...I love this software!!

Judy,

I haven't forgotten...I'll get the link posted as soon as I get the latest stuff uploaded (I changed and refined some more stuff last night.) Unfortunately, I'm currently at the mercy of an inept ISP and have been without internet connection at home for about 5 days now, and can't get the newest stuff uploaded.

Back online, finally!

Here is the link to the website.

www.auldooly.com

The catalog is under "Our Merchandise Offerings"

The catalog page is simply one of the aw2k thumbnail templates. Editing in HTML, I removed the references to eBay and added the “mailto” into the header, then I went to work on the “section that is repeated for each auction lot”. Here I added the “title” field, took out the “description” field, added the “minimum bid” field, then pasted in the “mailto” from the header, only now I replaced the subject with the “title” field...It seems to work.

To place my standard navbar at the bottom, I just copied the source code from my HTML editor software and pasted it in AFTER the “section that is repeated for each auction lot.” But I see now that I need to work on those links some more.

Those lots that I wish to park on the webcatalog I assign to a different profile, to avoid confusion with my active listings. So now I just queue these lots, include them in the website using this new thumbnail template, update the website, then put these lots back on “hold” and I have an instant (more or less) web catalog. So far, I like it, but as always I'll keep tweaking it.

Not as elegant and spiffy as a shopping cart, but quick and easy and costs essentially nothing. I've been surprised over the last few years at the amount of stuff I've sold through the website without ever doing any advertising or promotion of any sort. It's necessary, though, to constantly update the META tags that search engines see. (Which I haven't done yet.)

I still have a lot to do the site. I decided back in December to totally rework every part of it, and it's taking time. (I was told by younger members of the family that I needed to get rid of the “old people” colors and make it more vibrant. So I did.)

I've been using Aw2k for about 18 months and I'm just now sitting down with it and really learning it's capabilities and how to make it work for me. Sheesh, I wish I had this 10 years ago!! I started the website about 8 years ago, when the hits on my eBay images maxed out our Mindspring/Earthlink bandwidth and they started charging more per month, and I decided that a website and domain were a better way to go.

As always, I'm open to any comments & suggestions.

HI,

Thanks for posting your website URL and sharing you accomplished it... What you have done is precisely what I am working on. And others are doing the same thing right now. I like it. Bright colorful and easy to navigate....

What HTML editor are you using???

Doesn't AW2K have so many features it is sometimes difficult to get through all them. The HTML abilities are absolutely incredible...

Thanks so much for taking the time to share.... Way cool!
