Importing & Exporting

Before contacting Auction Flex support, be prepared to answer whether you are importing content from another source/platform into Auction Flex or exporting content from Auction Flex to another source (such as an Excel spreadsheet). Below are some of the questions you should be prepared to answer.

  • Is the information being imported from a different platform or something (such as a spreadsheet) that you have created?
  • Is this the first time you are importing this catalog, or are you trying to update an existing catalog with an updated spreadsheet?
  • Are you importing images or only text?
  • If you are importing images, how are the image files named?
  • If you have multiple consignors and are importing a spreadsheet, is there a Consignor column on the spreadsheet?
  • To what platform will you be submitting the information you export from Auction Flex?
  • Is this the first time you are exporting this catalog?
  • Are you exporting images or only text?
  • If you are exporting images, do the image file names need to be formatted in a certain way for the platform you will be submitting them to?
  • If you are exporting images, do you need the catalog versions of the images (these are larger in size) or the web versions of the images (these are compressed)?
