Setting Up the Event Showcase Display
During your event, you can display a slideshow of your items and sponsors on devices placed strategically throughout your event venue. Devices used for the Showcase only need to be able to run a web browser. If you have the right equipment, you can even project the showcase onto a large screen for all to see. Here's how to use the Showcase:
To set up a showcase display:
- Ensure that the Enable showcase displays checkbox is checked in Admin tab under Event Settings.
- On the device you plan to use to run your showcase display, disable any screen savers or automatic sleep settings so your Showcase won't be interrupted during your event.
- Launch the web browser on that device and visit the following web address: http://events.readysetauction.com/donorperfect-ux/foreverforestsgala/showcase/setup.
- On the Setup page, enter your event’s Access Code, which you will find under Event Details.
- Click the Enable This Showcase Display button.
Once the showcase display has been set up, that device will remain in showcase display mode until it is manually disabled.
To disable showcase display mode on any individual device:
- Ensure that the Enable showcase displays checkbox is checked in the form above. You cannot disable showcase display mode on any individual devices unless this option is enabled.
- On your showcase display device, launch the web browser on that device (if not already running) and visit the following web address: http://events.readysetauction.com/donorperfect-ux/foreverforestsgala/showcase/setup.
- On the Setup page, enter your event’s Access Code, which is found under Event Details.
- Click the Disable This Showcase Display button.
To completely disable showcase display mode on all devices, uncheck the Enable showcase displays checkbox in the Admin tab through the Event Settings screen.
An Important Compatibility Note…
Showcase uses advanced animations and other features that outdated web browsers don’t support. To use Showcase at your event, be sure you’ve installed a modern web browser on the devices that will display your Showcase. We recommend the latest versions of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
Windows 10 Users: We don’t recommend using Microsoft’s new browser, Edge, for Showcase displays at this time. It has some bugs and missing features that lead to a poor experience.
