Get lots ready and set lot numbers
Updated
Check which lots are ready
Readiness shows the open platform sales with a sale date of today or later, or with no date. For each sale, it shows how many lots are ready.
A lot is ready when it has all of these:
- Photos
- A description
- A grade, or a grading service
- A start price or an estimate
- A storage location: a safe, shelf, box or location details
To fix the lots of a sale:
- Click the sale on Readiness. You can also click Readiness on the sale page.
- Find the list for each missing item, such as No photos.
- Click the link on a lot, such as Add photos, Write description, Add grade, Set price or Set location.
Readiness checks lots in open sales only. It does not check lots that have a result.
Track daily work
The Today box shows the coins entered, photos added and descriptions saved by each member today.
Owners and admins can set daily goals for each member:
- Click Set goals.
- Enter a goal for each member. Use 0 for no goal.
Set lot number rules
Without a rule, a new lot gets the next number after the highest number in the sale. A rule sets the format.
- Go to Lot numbers.
- Click Add rule.
- Type a Name.
- In Use for, choose All sales, One platform, One category or One sale. Then choose the platform, category or sale.
- Set the Prefix (up to 4 letters and digits), the Separator, the Start number and the Digits (pad with zeros).
- Click Save rule.
When more than one rule matches, the most specific rule applies. All sales applies only when no other rule matches. When you delete a rule, lots keep their numbers.
Lots that you add to a Flow auction also use your rules. Only All sales and One category rules apply to a Flow auction.
You need the Edit coins permission to change lot number rules.
Assign lot numbers
- On Coins, select the coins.
- Click Assign lot numbers.
- Choose the Sale.
- In Rule, keep The rule that matches each coin, or choose one rule.
- Click Assign lot numbers.
Coins that are not in the sale become lots. A lot that you exported keeps its number. To number the lots that you did not export again, open the sale menu and click Renumber lots not exported.
