Create an Appeal Item (Direct Donation)

How to create an appeal item in Handbid. Appeal items represent your direct donation amounts in your auction/event.

In the Handbid system, donation items are APPEAL items.  

To create appeal items, follow the steps below: 

1. In the Auction Dashboard, from the shortcut menu, click "Items," select  "Create New Item" and select "Appeal."
2. In the item settings window, enter in:
   1. Item Name: For instance, "$100 Donation"
   2. Item Cost: Again, that would be $100, or the amount of the level you're creating.
   3. Category: You will either create an Appeal/Donation type category or add it to an existing Appeal/Donation type category. Items must be in a category in order for them to be visible on the site. If you are running a paddle raise and you do not want your guests to see the appeals ahead of time, please take these items out of a category.  This will allow you to bulk enter the paddle raise without your guests seeing these items.  
   4. Add an Image.

3. Click the green CREATE button to finish.
