NOTE: For Dutch auctions that are set up to allow automatic proxy bidding, Iasta SmartSource will save a bid for possible submission to future intervals. , Iasta SmartSource records all bids saved and submitted, but if an Automatic Proxy Bid is saved before/during the Live Event, the bid amount will not display in Bid Management until AFTER the Live Event. For Automatic Proxy Bids saved before/during the Live Event, the "Bid Amount" column displays a dash (-). After the Live Event, the bid amounts for saved automatic proxy bids appear in the Bid Amount column. If a bid is saved at one time, and then submitted when the interval opens, then that proxy bid will display again in bid management as a submitted bid, with the submitted time.
