Creating Display Sheets / Display Cards / Display Table Cards

Why use display sheets? 

Display sheets are used to print a physical page to display a QR code, and description of your items, details, or other info where users don't have to be on the app or website to see. These are often displayed next to the item at an in-person event. 

Creating Display Sheets For Your Auction

When you enter items into your Handbid event, you have the ability to generate display sheets for your items. There are a variety reasons you may want to create display sheets:

1. Create them for all of your items or only for specific items or categories.
2. For a category that does not have tangible items (i.e. certificates).
3. A very expensive item that you don't want to place on your auction table.

In any case, this will help to display the items available. If you would like extra information on creating effective silent auction display areas click here.

Editing the display sheet description

In your item settings in the description tab, there is a separate description box named “Display Sheet Description”. This description is used exclusively for your display sheets and is limited to 400 characters to fit properly on a display sheet. You will need to make sure each item that you will be generating a display sheet for has a populated Display Sheet Description box.
