# Cashier
In your role as as Cashier, it will be your task to both Check In and Check Out the supporters. From the main auction page, after you have logged in, go to the Menu at the top of the page and select Run Auction then "Check In" or "Check Out". This will bring you to the Bidder/Supporter Check In (or Check Out) page.
# Checking In a Supporter
# The Steps
To start, you click in the Search box and start typing the last name of the Supporter. After typing the first few letters of the name, all Supporters with those letters will show up. Once you have found the correct supporter, the next step is to click on the ASSIGN BIDDER button. This will automatically assign the Supporter the next available Bidder Number.
The final step is to print the Bidder Card. First, select the number of copies of the Bidder Card the Supporter wishes to have. You can increase the or decrease the numner of cards by clicking on the small up and down arrows in the box under COPIES. This allows the supporter to have Bidder Cards for each family member or Business Associate.
If you are connected directly to a printer, clicking on the PRINT CARD button will automatically start printing the bidder cards. If you are not connected directly to a printer, a pop up box will appear with a PDF image of the card in it. From here you would need to save the image or print it from another printer. These options would be determined by your Auction Adminstrators.
If the PDF pop up box appears, you will need to close it before checking in the next supporter.
If a supporter is not found when typing in the name, you will need to add them to the auction from the Supporter's Page.
TIP
Open multiple tabs in your browser window. With one tab on the Bidder Check In page and another on the Supporter Page. This will allow you to move back and forth between the pages quicker when you need to add a new supporter.
WARNING
Remember to LOGOUT of the system any time you have completed your role and someone else takes over.
# Checking a Supporter Out
# The Steps
To start, you will click in the Bidder Number box and start to type in the bidder number. After typing in the number, click on the BIDDER LOOKUP button to pull up the Bidder's information.
TIP
If there is a scanner connected to your device, scanning the QR Code on the Bidder Card will automatically pull up the Supporter's Information.
The screen will now show the Supporter's Name, all of the auction items won, any vending items purchased and any donations that have been made.
For Supporter's wishing to make a payment, you will first click on the drop down menu towards the bottom of the page and select the type of payment they are making.
If the Supporter wishes to make any additional donations, click on the drop down menu and select the type of donation they are making. Then go to the data entry box to the right of the selection and use it like a MEMO note. Check with your Auction Administrators for what information they would like typed here.
Next, move to the Payment Amount box. You might notice that this box already has the total in it. If the Supporter's payment is this exact amount, then click on the MAKE PAYMENT or the MAKE ADDITIONAL PAYMENT button.
If the Supporter wishes to pay more than what they owe and donate the extra, then type the new payment amount in the "Payment Amount" box and click on the MAKE PAYMENT or MAKE ADDITIONAL PAYMENT button. Once you have clicked on a button you will notice that the overpaid amount has now been entered into the Donation on Payment line just above the Payment Entry line you just used. Next you will click on the MAKE DONATION button to add the overpaid amount as an item on the receipt. This is done so that the overall total of purchases and donations equals zero.
The final step is to click on the button named PRINT RECEIPT. Just as with printing the bidder cards, if your device is directly connected to a printer, the receipt will automatically print out. Otherwise, a window will pop up with a PDF version of the receipt. If a pop up window does appear, you will need to close the window before procedding to the next Supporter.
WARNING
Remember to LOGOUT of the system any time you have completed your role and someone else takes over.
