Auction of a Foreclosure
From a document regarding the auction of a foreclosure in Puerto Rico.
"(El Aguacil...) señalé la celebración de la venta en pública subasta del inmueble que más adelante se describe"
It also appears (in noun form) here:
"Teniendo a la vista el Edicto de Subasta anunciando al público el señalamiento para la celebración de la presente subasta..."
I'm leaning toward "I announced/proclaimed"//"announcement/proclamation"

set the date and time (and place?) for
I don't often work with documents from P.R., but this is what I understand here from the context you've given. I suppose it might also include the "place".
señalar
5. tr. Nombrar o determinar persona, día, hora, lugar o cosa para algún fin.

I would translate "señalamiento" here as "date and time," and possibly "place," if you have any more knowledge of what the announcement actually contained.

Strangely enough, something similar has just cropped up in the job I'm doing at the moment, which contains a court ruling from Spain entitled "Decreto Señalar". On further reading, the "señalar" part refers to exactly what I've understood here, i.e., designating the date and time (of a hearing).
I'd never seen this usage before today, so it's quite the coincidence!

: Familar with your first definition. Never seen "Decreto Señalar" in my life. I would think in you Spain example, it is "por decreto(,) señalar el día y la hora"...

Thanks, John. Yes, it's odd, I know, but it appears as the title of a form for a court order I'm working on.

I think it has to mean "announced", but in that case "anunciando el señalamiento" would be a tautology. "Proclaiming" is too grand in my opinion.
