Tags (also referred to as categories) are custom labels you can attach to auction items to help bidders filter and browse items more easily on your silent auction page.
How to Add Tags Items
-
Navigate to any auction item editor in your Fundraiser Builder > Auctions.
-
In the item edit view, locate the Tags/Categories field.
-
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.
