Works from a phone. Changes show on the site within about a minute.
Open = nobody has it. Held = someone said yes, not paid. Sold = paid or firm. Staff table = bought for North Star staff members; type the sponsor's name. Reserved = not for sale. Names on Sold, Staff, and Reserved tables show on the public map. Rows fill front to back: Platinum in the lowest open numbers, then Gold, then Silver.
| # | Status | Name for the table | Tier | Paid | Note (private) |

Post each tree, live auction item, silent auction item, or raffle prize as a business commits it. Type the business in "Donated by". Check "Received" once it's picked up or delivered (private, for our tracking). A photo makes it; photos shrink on your phone before upload. Uncheck "Show" to keep it off the site until you're ready.
Before you call a business, check here. Add a row the moment you talk to someone, even if they said no or "ask me later," so nobody else calls them again. Sorted by business name.
| Business | Who talked to them | When | Where it stands | What they said |

Seats at the staff tables, 8 per table. Add each staff member as they respond, set how many are coming (them plus a guest), and which staff table they're at. Nothing here shows on the public site.

Money given straight to the Foundation, apart from tables and items. Log each gift when it is promised, tick Received when the check or cash is in hand. The site shows donor names only, never amounts. Tick Anonymous to list a gift without the name.
