Time To Break

  1. Click the “Set Break to live” button so that the break will appear as live on Breaker Toolbox. This is very important since it will notify any buyers that their break is live. It will also flag your break as live on Breaker Toolbox so that anyone browsing will see that you are live.

Users will receive an email or SMS text (depending on their notification settings) to inform them that their break is now live.

Post Break

  1. Click “End Break” to change the status of your break from Live to Completed.
  2. Confirm the break has ended by clicking “Stop Event”.
  3. You will receive an email summary of your break but you can also download an Excel summary on demand by clicking the “Download Break Details” button.
  4. (Optional): Send a summary email to all users who joined the break by clicking the “Break Summary Narrative” button.
