Building Your Sale · JBFOne Knowledge Base
First, the Foundations
Before you can build an event in JBFOne, four building blocks need to be in place at the location level. Set these up once and they’re ready to attach to any event you create.
What you’ll set up in this article:
- Venues
- Category Profiles
- Seller Resources
- Waivers
Venues
Why this matters: JBFOne links every event to a venue. Having your venue on file before you start keeps the event setup moving without interruption.
Where to find it: Manage → Events Setup (left nav.) → Venues tab → + Add Venue
Steps:
- Navigate to Events in the left nav and click the Venues tab.
- Click + Add Venue, enter your venue name, address, and any relevant details, then save.
- Confirm the venue appears in your list. ✓
What to Sell
Why this matters: What to Sell profiles define which item types and limits sellers can tag for your sale and how much they can bring. You’ll attach one to your event during setup — only Active profiles are available to select.
Where to find it: Manage → Events Setup (left nav.) → What to Sell tab→ + Add Profile
Steps:
- Navigate to What to Sell and click + Add Profile.
- Name the profile, assign a season, and set the status to Active. Save.
- In the Categories section, select the item types your sale accepts. Exclude anything you don’t — DVDs, Electronics, oversized items, etc. Set quantity limits where needed.
- Confirm the profile appears in your list with the correct status and season. ✓
*Your system comes with a default What to Sell profiles already loaded. Click to open the profile and select the pencil icon to update it with your location's standard information — this is what consignors see any time there is no active sale-specific profile in place.
Seller Resources
Why this matters: Seller Resources break your consignor guide into focused, sale-specific content. Create resources per season so consignors have what they need, when they need it. Build them to match your What to Sell profile and keep instructions specific to each sale or season.
Where to find it: Manage → Events Setup (left nav.) → Seller Resources tab → + Add Profile → pink book icon to edit sections
Steps:
To create a NEW Seller Resource:
- Navigate to the Seller Resources tab and click + Add Profile.
- Name the profile (e.g. Standard Consignor), set status to Active. Save.
- Click the pink book icon next to your profile to open the editor. Add content to Drop-Off and Pick-Up at minimum, then fill in at least three additional sections (Gather, Sort, and Price & Prep are a good start).
- Use + Add Menu to create one custom section, then save. ✓
*Your system comes with a default Seller Resources profile already loaded. Open it using the pink book icon and update it with your location's standard information — this is what consignors see any time there is no active sale-specific profile in place.
Waivers
Why this matters: Your waiver content must exist here before you can attach it to an event during event setup.
Where to find it: Manage → Events Setup (left nav.) → Waivers tab → + Add Menu → Add Content
Steps:
- Navigate to the Waivers tab. Click + Add Menu and create a section — for example, Standard Waiver.
- Click Add Content, paste in your waiver language, and save.
- Confirm the content displays correctly. ✓
You’re ready to build your event.
