Editing Booklists on BoB
Editing the Booklist
Each Booklist is locked so that only one person can update it at a time; this prevents others from overwriting changes you are currently making.
- Click 'Edit Booklist' to get started
- Click 'Check Out' to lock the Booklist to you
Note: If the Booklist is already locked to someone else, a pop-up will appear as so -
It is possible to 'Force Unlock' - be careful here! You may force someone out who is currently making changes.
Tip: Click 'Save & Continue' along the way to save the changes made.
Once you have made all the required changes, click 'Release Booklist' to unlock the Booklist from your access, and it will then be available for the next person to takeover and make their changes.
Populating the Booklist
1. Creating New Subject Sections
If you need to add a new subject section:
- Click 'Create Subject' - this will create a new section at the bottom of the list
- Click 'Edit Subject Name' - enter the new subject name

To add a new subject section in between existing subjects:

3. Removing Books
To remove a Subject section or a textbook no longer required, click the rubbish bin icon to remove.
Tip: Click 'Undo' if an error is made and needs to be reversed
4. Elective Subjects
This is applicable only to Parent Purchase School model.
All selected textbooks will automatically be checked as an Elective (as shown below).
This will ensure that the title is an optional purchase for the parent in the BoB Shop. If the title or subject is not mandatory for ALL students, it should be checked as 'Elective'.
Any title that has not been checked as an ‘Elective’ will automatically be added to the shopping cart.
6. Adding Notes
Notes can be created specifically for parents. These notes will appear on the price list and in the BoB Shop. To do this:
- Click 'Add Notes' - a Notes box will appear at the bottom of the subject box
- Enter the note information
- Click the green tick icon to accept the note
-
Tip: Click, hold & drag the double lines to place the note above the textbooks intended for (this is our recommendation, makes for a tidy look)
7. Flags
