Learn how catalogue headers are now updated to improve user experience for viewing online auctions.
Summary
AuctionsPlus has recently rolled out updates to the catalogue headers to improve the user experience for those browsing the online auctions.
These improvements will not require any additional input from vendors or selling agents, nor require any changes to the lead time for providing sale information for inclusion.
Some of the improvements and changes to the catalogue headers can be found below.
Notifications
Notifications are used when exceptional (or last minute) updates need to be provided to potential bidders.
These are positioned at the very top of the header, as highlighed in the image of a sample catalogue below.
Auction Location
The auction location provides the address of where the auction is to be conducted and is essential to assist bidders who wish to physically attend, as highlighed in the image of a sample catalogue below.
