Create and modify categorization trees that can be associated with bidders. |
You can set up bidder categorization trees, which bidders can use to register for interest in selected categories. You can use predefined trees or manually add nodes. You can select the number of node levels to display to the bidders; for example, you might display only the top three node levels of a four-node tree to the bidders.
Registered bidders can select bidding categories when they register to personalize the events in which they want to participate. Bidders can also maintain their lists of categories after they register and after becoming a supplier or customer. Event creators can use these categories to target event invitations to the group of bidders who are most interested in those events.
Use the Maintain Categorization Trees page (AUC_CAT_CREATE_HP) to create new and view existing self-categorization trees.
