Reading the Auctioneer View

What the auctioneer sees on the laptop or tablet, at a glance.

1. 1

   The total, front and center

   The running total for the whole Fund-a-Need is the biggest number on the screen — readable from a few feet away in low light.

2. 2

   The current level

   Below the total, only the level currently being called is shown, with its count and dollars. It changes automatically when the tally phone changes levels.

3. 3

   Goal indicators

   Basic, Stretch and Dream markers show where you are for both the current level and the event overall, so you know whether to keep pushing.

4. 4

   Live status

   A Live indicator confirms the screen is receiving updates. If it drops, the page reconnects on its own.

5. 5

   Clearing

   Clear buttons for each level and for everything are available here without a PIN, for rehearsals. Each asks for confirmation and warns that it cannot be undone.
