Copy Gift
If you want to submit a Gift which is very similar to one you've previously uploaded or auctioned, the Copy Gift function means you don't need to fill in a form from scratch. To copy a Gift, follow these steps:
Select the Gift you wish to copy
Click on the Gift you wish to copy in the Partner VMS Gift List.
Press "Copy Gift"
Select "Copy Gift" at the top right of the Gift's page.
Tweak and submit
This pre-populates a Gift Upload form with the exact same details as the Gift you pressed Copy Gift on, allowing you to go through and tweak it as required. After this, you can Save Draft or Submit for Approval as usual.
Save Draft
Draft saving allows you to tee up several different Gifts in the VMS without them coming to us for approval until you decide they're ready. For example, you may have everything ready but are waiting on images from a separate department, or waiting for a colleague to confirm they're happy with the reserve price you've set. Either way, Save Draft ensures you don't lose the time you've spent filling in the form, letting you go back in and add the final details before submitting, whenever you're ready.
You can make as many edits and saves as needed before submitting for approval.
There are two ways to save a Draft:
- A newly created Gift, using the "Add Gift" button
- A copied Gift, using the "Copy Gift" button on another Gift in your VMS Portal
Either way, Save Draft is visible on all pages of the Gift Upload Form, making it easy to use.
