How to Use Auction Item Tags/Categories
Tags let bidders filter and browse your silent auction items by category.
How to Add Tags Items
-
Navigate to any auction item editor in your Fundraiser Builder > Auctions.
-
In the item, click edit, locate the Tags/Categories field under the item description section.
-
Type your desired tag and press enter to create it.
-
You can add multiple tags to a single item.

Once added, tags appear as filterable options on the public-facing silent auction page, making it easier for bidders to explore relevant items.

Important Notes
-
Tags cannot be edited after creation. If you need a change, you’ll need to delete and recreate the tag.
-
To delete a tag, remove it from all auction items. Once no items are using a tag, it automatically disappears.
-
Live auction items do not appear in the silent auction item gallery, so there is no need to tag them.
Use tags thoughtfully to group similar items (e.g., “Food & Wine,” “Experiences,” “Art”) and improve the browsing experience for your bidders.
