admin All of your Bidders, Vendors and Contacts in one place.
This Guide covers the individual menus and options contained within the Users & Groups dropdown in the Webtron Dashboard.
The Users & Groups dropdown is your access point for the following menus:
- Users – Your User (Bidder) List
- Auctioneers – Your Auctioneer Profile(s)
- Vendors – Your Vendor List
- Contacts – Your Contacts List
Users – Home of your Bidders and Buyers List
The Users & Groups > Users menu displays your User/Bidder list. These are individuals or companies that have completed the Create Account form on your Portal.
By default, the Users menu will display recent signups from the last 10-14 days, but you can click the yellow Modify Filter button at the top-left of the menu to expose your options for filtering and searching your Bidder list.
The Users & Groups > Users menu is your starting point for Viewing your Bidders’ profile details, Exporting your Bidder list, Manually Activating a Bidder, Suspending their Auction registration (Ejecting from an Auction), and/or Banning/Locking their Account.
The Managing Bidders and Registrants guide covers how to do all of that and more in a later chapter.

Vendors – Home of your Vendor Profiles
As with any Auction, you may have Consignors/Vendors who submit Lots for your Auction.
Vendor profiles can be assigned to your Items, either in-spreadsheet, after upload or whilst creating items in-Dashboard. Which Vendor profile is assigned to your Items can also be changed via Bulk Edit.
You can create individual Vendor profiles inside the Users & Groups > Vendors menu or use one Vendor profile for all Items, but we recommend creating individual Vendor profiles, as these will organise the Reports and Exports available to your in the Dashboard by Vendor.
To create a Vendor profile, you will need;
- Their First and Last Name.
- Email Address.
- Postal/Business Address.
- Minimum of 1 Contact Number (Landline, Mobile, or Fax).
Vendors are not public, your Bidders cannot see which Vendor profile is assigned to any of your Items. Vendor information is also restricted for Webtron Dashboard Admins, only Admins with Vendor list, Item list and Summary Table access can see Vendor assignments.
– Link your Vendor Users to their respective Vendor Profile
– Generate Vendor Reports and Vendor Statements
– And much, much more.
Contacts
Contact profiles are an easy way to provide your Bidders will the contact information of the people behind your Auction.
Contacts can be categorised as people who have the following information:
- Auction Information
- Bidder Approval
- Pickup/Removal Information
- Pickup/Removal and Payment Information
Contact profiles can be assigned on a per-Auction basis, with their contact information shown in the Essential Information panel for that Auction.
To create a Contact profile, click Users & Groups > Contacts, and then click the Create New Contact button at the top-left of the Contacts menu. To complete a Contact profile, you will need the following information:
