The Webtron Dashboard is the home of your Auctions, Items, Bidders, Buyers and Vendors, and the starting point for everything you do with Webtron. Your Portal shows what is set up in the Dashboard.
This section explains how to sign in, how to find your way around, and what each page of the Dashboard is for.
This guide has been rewritten to match the current Webtron Dashboard, including the new sidebar. It is a first draft, so wording and animations may still change.
What the Webtron Dashboard is for
In the Webtron Dashboard you can:
- Create and edit Auctions
- Create, import and edit Items
- Create Vendor profiles and assign them to your Items
- View and manage your Bidders and Buyers (Users) and their Auction registrations (Registrants)
- View and manage Bids, Auto Bids and Offers
- Generate invoices for your winning Bidders and Buyers (in-Dashboard Invoicing)
- Run and clerk your Webcast Auctions
To get started, see Logging into the Webtron Dashboard. Your Dashboard login details are the same as your Portal login details.
The Dashboard and VendorPlus
The Webtron Dashboard and VendorPlus work together. Auctions and Items you create in VendorPlus are synced to the Webtron Dashboard. VendorPlus is the more flexible way to build Auctions and Items; the Webtron Dashboard is still the home of your Auction management tools.
Building Auctions and Items
Think of VendorPlus as a portable lotting app and the Webtron Dashboard as the destination. VendorPlus gives you other ways to build your Auctions, such as AI-assisted lotting or Vendor-submitted Consignments, and the Webtron Dashboard is where those Auctions and Items are synced to.
Invoicing and Vendor Statements
VendorPlus is the recommended place to generate your invoices. The Webtron Dashboard’s in-Dashboard Invoicing is reliable but basic, whereas VendorPlus uses your Xero account to give you more flexibility and online payment options. VendorPlus also produces Vendor Statements, so we recommend setting up a Xero account and using VendorPlus to simplify your post-Auction invoicing.
Managing Bidders, Bids and Vendors
The Webtron Dashboard is the home of your Bidders and Buyers (Users), your Auction registrations, the bid history for all of your Items, and your Vendor profiles. If you need to ban a Bidder, approve a Registrant, cancel a bid or create a Vendor profile, you do it in the Webtron Dashboard.
