1. Click on the Buyer Check-In Button 
from the Navigator or the Navigator Toolbar.
2. Use the Navigation buttons 
to locate the desired auction.
3. If you would like the system to automatically assign bid card numbers then check the AutoNumber Bid Cards? check box 
.
4. From here you have several options depending on your situation:
| • | To check in existing buyers or to find out if someone is already an existing buyer use the QUICK CHECK-IN buttons  . If any of the quick check-in buttons fails to find a buyer you will be prompted if you would like to add them. |
| • |  quickly check-in buyers by first, last, or company name (full or partial). |
| • |  quickly check-in buyers by full or partial phone number (last 4 digits, last 7 digits, etc.). |
| • |  quickly check-in buyers by their reserved bid card number. |
| • |  quickly check-in buyers by swiping their driver's license through a magnetic stripe reader. Additionally if the buyer is not found you can elect to create the buyer and the system will automatically extract the buyer's information from their driver's license. |
| • |  quickly check-in buyers by their ID. The ID field is most commonly used when an auction house has distributed buyer ID cards with bar codes or magnetic stripes. |
| • |  quickly check-in all buyers with Alternate Bids (Absentee Bids or Phone Bids) for this auction. |
| • |  quickly check-in all registered buyers from a previous auction. |
| • | To check in a buyer that you know is new click the New button  from Auction Buyer Controls. |
| • | To check in an existing buyer using the Buyer Maintenance form click the Exist. button  from Auction Buyer Controls. This method is slower than using the Quick Check-In buttons but is more flexible. |
