Custom Book Attributes

Book Report automatically detects a lot about the books you publish, but sometimes you want to add your own information. You can do this by adding custom attributes to your books.

Adding a Custom Attribute

To add a custom attribute to a book, visit the Books tab and then click on the "Add an Attribute" button below the book you'd like to update.

That will add a form where you can enter the name of the attribute and the value, then click "Save".

Once you've added a custom attribute, you can use it to generate reports throughout the app.

If you want to remove an attribute, simple click the "X" button next to the attribute name. If you would like to change the value of an attribute, simply remove it and then add it back with the correct value.

Bulk Custom Attributes

At the top of the Books tab, there are options to edit attributes in bulk. For instance, if you have one pen name for romance who only writes romance, you can filter by that pen name and then bulk add the genre "Romance" to all of those books.

At the very top there are filtering options which are explained on here.

By clicking the "Add an attribute to X books" button, a small form will pop up where you can enter the attribute name and value. This attribute will be added to all the books that match your filters.

You can also bulk remove attributes by leaving the value field blank.
