The Easy Navigator was created to give users quick and easy access to the individual active auctions. The Easy Navigator is geared towards customers who conduct:
| • | Non-Catalogued auctions (estate,consignor,etc.) or |
| • | Simple Catalogued auctions |
With the Easy Navigator and accompanying Easy Navigator toolbar, all the functions needed for your auction, from pre-auction entry to post-auction reports, are clearly and simply displayed.
Some customers opt to switch to the Easy Navigator on auction day and then switch back to the Advanced Navigator afterwards.

You can select reports that will show, either in summary or detail, total sales, taxable and non taxable sales, buyers premium collected, and taxes collected. These reports do not take into account the payment status of the listed invoices, only whether the buyer has been checked out. |

We have a variety of Balance Detail reports available. Preview a few of the reports to find the settlement report that best suits your needs. Report number 13 (Balance Detail with Auction Info) is always a good start. You can also print checks and record payments for your consignor from this screen. |

The amount if invoiced / non-invoiced bids, taxes and buyers premiums collected, and the amount of outstanding bids you have. if you hit the printer icon at the lower right of this screen, you will be able to print this summary, as well as Outstanding Invoices with buyer contact information and consignor summary reports. |
