Quick Entry
The Quick Entry view is the default for Paper Auction bid recording. This minimal view is intended to enter many bids quickly and efficiently using only the Paper Bidding type item number, the participant's Paddle#, and the Bid Amount. If appropriate, you can close the bidding for the item by checking a box that will denote the bid as the Final Bid for the item.
All examples taken from a demonstration event.
A Final Bid is the winning bid recorded for Paper Bidding and Live Bidding type items. Unlike online bidding — where the winning bid is determined automatically when bidding closes — final bids for paper and live items are entered manually by the organizer.
See Record Paper Bids and Record Live Bids for more details.
Standard
The Standard view of the Paper Auction bid recording page lets you record bids with more access to your event information. Here, you can search for the item and the participant who placed the bid. You can also enter the Bid Amount and choose to close bidding when you record the bid.
