Sending the First Item Into the Ring
When no item is currently in the ring, each item in the right-hand panel (under the Lot Listing tab) will show a Send button.
Click Send next to the lot you wish to start with.
This places the selected item into the ring on the left side of the screen, ready for bidding.

1. Click Pass and Next
This will:
Pass the current item in the ring (marking it as Suspended in the Bid Table and Passed in the console's lot list)
