• In the clerking screen, you may now place items with quantities into a choice group.
  • (Please note that this does not allow a clerk to sell portions of that quantity to multiple bidders; the buyer is being sold that item x the multiple from within choice)
• We've increased precautions around being able to email all invoices.
  • ​Now, in the invoices menu, you will need to add a filter for the auction you're working on before you can email invoices out. You will also see a new pop-up message that will show you how many invoices you're about to email so you can confirm that's the action you'd like to take.
