Event Setup · JBFOne Knowledge Base
First, the Foundations
Before you can build an event in JBFOne, a few 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
- Seasons
- Waivers
- What to Sell
- Seller Resources
- Groups and Lists
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. ✓
Seasons
Why this matters: Seasons classify your sale for royalty reporting under your FDD. Every location must have one Primary sale per season — Spring and Fall. Any additional sale you run in that same season gets classified as Additional.
Where to find it:
Manage → Events Setup (left nav) → Seasons tab → + Add season
Steps:
- Navigate to the Seasons tab and click + Add season.
- Enter a Season name and select the correct Classification — Spring - Primary, Spring - Additional, Fall - Primary, or Fall - Additional. Only one Primary classification is allowed per season.
- Set Status to Active. Click Save. ✓
Pro Tip Choose Primary for your main sale of the season and Additional for any extra sale you run alongside it — like a pop-up or second location event. Getting this right keeps your royalty reporting accurate.
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. ✓
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.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Before you build, read through Building What to Sell Profiles for full details and best practices.
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. ✓
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.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: For detailed instructions and best practices, see Building Your Seller Resources Profile.
Where to find it:
Manage → Events Setup (left nav.) → Seller Resources tab → + Add Profile → pink book icon to edit sections
To create a NEW Seller Resource:
Steps:
- 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 in the FSC Library. Create a NEW profile and select the checkbox Prepopulate from FSC Library and click Save. 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.
Consignor Groups in JBFOne
Why this matters: Groups are containers that organize your consignors into meaningful sets. Most owners use groups to connect to Constant Contact lists for targeted communication — but groups can also power specialized paths in JBFOne, like routing specific consignors to a custom registration flow or schedule segment. Groups exist in both Consignors and Team Members — this section covers Consignor Groups. Team Member Groups work similarly and are covered in more detail later.
Where to find it:
Manage → Consignors → Groups tab → + New Group
Steps:
- Click + New Group. A panel opens on the right.
- Enter a Name. If you're connecting to Constant Contact, use the same naming convention as your list (e.g., F26 Sellers).
- Select a Color. Color is for your reference only. Use it however makes sense to you.
- Leave Status as Active unless you are creating a group you do not want in use yet.
- Click Save. The group appears in your Groups list. ✓
Pro Tip If you're building groups to connect with Constant Contact, repeat this process for each list you've already created there. Names don't have to match exactly, but keeping them consistent makes the linking step easier. For full instructions on connecting groups to Constant Contact, see [Groups and Constant Contact Lists].
You're ready to start building your event.
