Public or private systems
BLOOM can power private or public systems such as municipal bike sharing programs.
If your system is configured as a Public system and a user is geographically near the location of the system, the Public system will show up automatically. The user will just need to select your system from the System Selection screen to join your system.
If your program is configured as a Private system, you will need to distribute the Private System Code to potential users. This code allows users to apply for access to your system. The Private System Code is available in the System → Settings menu in the Dashboard. The Private System Code is available in text format or as a QR code.
After users register with the app, they’ll select the option to “Join a Private System” from the System Selection screen. When prompted, they’ll either enter or scan the Private System Code you have provided.
