Hosting an auction that has a similar online format to one you've hosted in the past? You can clone past auction events directly in your Bloomerang Fundraising control panel.
Cloning one way you can create new forms in Bloomerang Fundraising. If you want to start fresh with a brand new auction, you can create new forms from scratch.
Clone Your Auction
To clone an auction, navigate to Forms and Events from your organization's dashboard.
Note: In order to clone an auction:
You must be an account administrator and
The auction must be active.
The option to clone is only available and visible when both are true.
Account administrators can also update permission levels for other users, including making them admins.
Then, scroll down to Auctions.
Find the auction you want to clone and click Clone Auction.
Then, name your auction and choose whether to carry over API Access. Click Continue.
On the Attributes tab, attributes appear that are present on the original form. Select which ones you want to carry over. After you enable the attributes you want in your new auction, click Continue. For explanations of the attributes, read Cloning Attributes.
Please note: If you want to start fresh with a brand new auction, don't clone any of the past auction's attributes.
Select the Permissions to carry over from the previous event. Permissions determine which users are able to access and change the auction and to what extent they're able to make changes.
Finally, click Continue to review the options selected when cloning the event.
Once you click the Create Auction button on this final step, you'll be taken back to Forms and Events. Scroll down to Auctions to confirm a new auction event was created.
From there, you can click Manage Auction to continue configuring your new auction event.
