Books

A book keeps related documents together for one person. A university might issue a meal-ticket book to a student, then add an entry for each month.

A book has two sides:

• The issuer creates the book and adds entries to it.
• The holder is the person it was issued to. They see the book in their own Books and every entry sent to them.

Create and send a book

1. Open Books

   Click Books in the sidebar, then Create a book.

2. Describe it

   Give it a Title, such as Semester 2 meal tickets, and choose a Type: Meal ticket, Gate pass or Other.

3. Choose who it is for

   Under Send to, search by name or email and pick the person. They need a Bloom account, and you can't issue a book to yourself.

4. Send

   Click Create and send book. It appears in the holder's Books straight away.

Creating a book is free.

Add entries

Open the book and click Add entry. This opens the new-document page with the holder already set as the signer. Choose or build the document, fill it in and send it. It costs credits like any document, and it is listed under the book's Entries once sent. The holder signs it from their inbox, like any other document.

Only the issuer can add entries, and only to a book that is still active. In an institution, anyone from the institution can add entries to a book it issued.
