This section explains how to use a .csv file to mass upload lots to Auction Flex 360, and how to properly save images to mass import them to your desired location.
Things to Consider
You must use a .csv file for the Lot import to work
Lots must be in Auction Flex 360 before you mass upload images
Mass Importing Lots
Locate or Create Your .csv File
If you need a template, go to:
Lots > Import Lots > CSV Template
Add Information Into .csv File
Seller Code can be customized and/or found by going to:
Auction Flex 360 > Customers > Customer List > Customer Code
This will attach the proper seller to each lot upon upload.
Import File Into Auction Flex 360
Go to:
Lots > Import Lots > Choose File
Field Mapping: Map Your Lots
This is where Auction Flex 360 locates what columns you have in your Excel file (File Header), and you need to match your column titles with the pre-filled headers in Auction Flex 360 (DB Column).
Import Options
You can have Auction Flex 360 start the import from a specific row or overwrite existing data with imported data.
If there are no lots in the system, just click Import.
Import Summary
You will get a report on how many rows were uploaded and can review any errors during the process.
Your lots should now be shown in the Lots section!
Mass Importing Images
Things to Consider
You must save your images a certain way
If your images are named after the lot number they are associated with, the software will apply those images to the correct lot
Example:
If you have four images for lot #1, name them:
1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4
Images for lot #2 would be:
2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4
Other acceptable formats include:
1.11-11_1
Lot Image Import
Select Lot Images
Locate Your Images
Tip: Click on your first image, then press Ctrl + A to select them all.
Upload Images
You will receive a “Complete” status when uploaded.
Congratulations! Your mass import is now complete!
