What is the the Lot Library and how do I use it with Advanced Lots?

What's the issue you're facing?

I would like to know what the lot library is and how I can use this in my event?

Solution

Within advanced lots there is the ability to save and load lot templates to a library. If you are running events that are likely to have similar components (columns and rows) or if you are building an event with multiple lots that are similar, building an advanced lot template would be advisable. This will save you considerable time when building the lots.


To load from the library, you can either do this from the ‘Create RFQ Lots’ tab under the Advanced section (See image 1 below). Or you can load and save a lot from/to the library when you are in the advanced lot itself (see image 2 below).

Top tip: Remember that columns can't be reordered, so build lot templates in a way that will require little or no column changes.
