Linking the Spend Cloud Card to a Cardbook

To make expenses and account for them in the Spend Cloud, the card must be linked to a book. For information on creating a book, refer to this section. Once the book is created, locate it in Application Management / Cash & Card / Books. Edit the book by clicking the pencil icon, then select the card(s) you want to link to the book under 'Card'. Click 'Save' after making your selection.

After linking the card to a book, you can assign the appropriate roles to employees and load funds onto the cardbook.
