Company Preferences

Setting default Company Preferences for accounting/cataloging saves time when creating new auctions. This article describes the options/settings found under the company's Preferences tab. 

This article contains the following sections:

 

Updating Company Preferences


Company Preferences can be viewed/edited by navigating to My Links > Company > Profile and then clicking on the Preferences tab. 

Users should be sure to click the Disk icon in the top right corner of the page to Save any changes made to the company's Preferences. 

Any changes made to a company's Preferences will only impact auctions created after those changes are saved.

Auctions created prior to updating a company's Preferences will need to be updated within the settings for each of those auctions.
