Retracting a bid
Why do we need to retract bids?
As can happen, sometimes people accidentally mess up bids, or bid beyond their means. The software allows only users with the ARTSHOW_ADMIN permission to retract bids.
How do I retract a bid?
- Log into your Convention Master console.
- Click on List Artwork, and find your piece of art that needs the bid retracted.
- Click on the Piece ID of the piece of artwork - This will bring you to the display piece page. Near the middle find the bidding records.
- Click the "Retract Bid" Button - Note you will not see this button if you do not have the ARTSHOW_ADMIN permission. You will only see this button on the last active bid. You must retract a bit one at a atime. Once you have clicked the "Retract BId" button you will be given a screen that provides you more information about the bid your retracting.
- Enter a retraction Note - You must always provide a reason why the bid is being retracted, for audit purposes.
- Click "Retract Bid" - This will retract the bid and provide you a link to go back to the piece information. Important note: If retracting this bid means that the piece status should change, the piece status will probably change.
