Creating an assessment using LiveAssess templates is designed to be quick and easy, saving you time and effort to capturing and loading your assessment to AuctionsPlus.
Summary
Assessments are captured manually (on paper form) on-site and later manually entered to the AuctionsPlus platform via the dedicated Assessment Entry interface. Double handling of data can be time consuming and introduces the potential of manual error.
LiveAssess is a mobile solution designed to allow the assessor to capture assessment data on-site, and then automatically load that data to the AuctionsPlus platform. This document offers simple guidance through the following phases.
Video tutorials can be found at the start of each section, the full playlist can also be found here: LiveAssess Tutorials (YouTube)
⚠️ Users of iPhone 15 (or later) will experience an Apple iOS bug where images captured and saved locally at the default 24 megapixel HEIC format cannot be uploaded to external platforms (including AuctionsPlus LiveAssess and Assessment Entry).
Users are advised to change their iPhone camera defaults settings from 24 to megapixels (MP) to 12 megapixels (MP).

Step 7 - Adding additional media
Upon completion, the assessor may add any additional media.
The assessor may either:

Congratulations!
You have now completed your assessments via LiveAssess.
Submitted assessment may be reviewed in the "History" page, as shown below.
