Catalog App Update: Image Saving Enhancements
In order to comply with new changes to Apple iOS and Android OS guidelines, there has been a change to the process of saving un-uploaded photos from the catalog app to your device. These changes will give the user options within the app to save and share images directly from the app.
When saving a photo, you can choose from several options, including saving the image to your camera roll, emailing it to someone, texting it, or saving it to a file on your device. All of these actions can be completed directly within the app.
To access the image saving feature, the image must NOT be uploaded. While working in an existing or newly added lot, tap the photo you want to save or share (highlighted in red) one at a time. Then, navigate to the upper-right corner and click the icon (called a share node) next to the trash can (the three dots with two lines).
From there, you can choose how you would like to use the photo—save it to your camera roll, store it as a file, email it, or send it via text.
Please see the video below for a demonstration.
You can also save un-uploaded images to your phone from the pending uploads screen. Simply click on an image that FAILED to upload and you will be presented with the share image icon (as shown below):
Images saved to your device will populate in your library, but will NO longer be saved to a particular folder under the name of the "Lot # & Lot Name" of the lot from which they were saved from. Instead, the images are simply saved as as the most recent added photo to your library images.
To download the latest version of the Catalog App (Version 3.1.0) please navigate to the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Click on the links to download the new version:
Clerking Grid Report Update
With the expansion of the NextLot Seller Settlements and Bidder Invoicing, the Clerking Grid downloadable report has been expanded to show a large number of new data points per lot so that Admins can drill down on a lot level more easily to see its status in regards to bidder and seller data points.
If you navigate to the clerking grid and click to download the report, you will see the newly updated excel file
Once downloaded, you can view a total of 40 lot data points. The 2 images below show the full array of data points in the spreadsheet. Details on each data point are explained below.
-
Lot #: numerical number assigned to the item in the auction.
-
Lot Inventory #: site wide unique ID # used to reference the item.
-
Lot Name: Title of the lot providing a brief explanation of what it is.

In a Webcast based Auction, this status will come from the Webcast Clerk's closing of a round in either a Sold, No Sold or Pending Fashion.

If the invoice status reads Refund Due, then the bidder is owed a refund for 1 reason or another (overpaid, item was not as described and a refund is due, etc).
