Monitoring auction performance with the Overview tab – Soapbox Support Center

With the Auctions app, you can track real-time fundraising and bidding performance for any auction using the Overview tab. The tab displays a set of metric cards that update as bidding activity occurs.

To view auction performance metrics:

Open the Auctions Manager.
Click the title of the auction you want to monitor.
Click the Overview tab.

A Details card at the top shows the auction's Name, Start, End, Timezone, Time Remaining and Status. The Highlights card beside it shows:

Top Bidder — The bidder who placed the single highest bid, with the amount of that bid.
