2 - Select or enter the donation amount 

To the right of the screen in this tab you will see all your appeal items or a box to enter a custom amount. You will also be able to see the current level selected in the upper right. Select or enter the level your auctioneer is going to ask for. You can create appeal items by following the steps in this article.  You may want to consider coordinating with your auctioneer to get the paddle raise levels ahead of time so you can seamlessly move to the next level during the paddle raise. 

3 - Entering donors 

After you have selected the level the paddle raise will be entered at, tap "ENTER APPEALS". You will then see the following screen.
