Create a Unit

You can create units one at a time or in bulk. Before you begin, ensure you have already created your Unit Types, as each unit must be assigned to a specific type.

Create individual units

1. Hover your mouse over the Units dropdown and click New Unit.
   
   

2. Fill in the following details:

• Name: A unique name or number for this unit. For Example, “A1”, “B912”, or “Parking Space 11”.
  
  Avoid using symbols such as dashes or dots, as they can interfere with gate system syncing. We recommend keeping it simple and using only letters and numbers.
  
  

• Gate Key: Only used for 3rd-party gate systems. If you use Storable Cloud Access Control, leave this blank. Any Gate Keys entered in this field will be linked to the unit and will be available to the next active tenant. Those codes will not be available to use at the keypad until the unit is in Rented status. This is the gate key that shows up in the [[GATE_KEY]] Placeholder when used in templates.
  
  

• Unit Type: The unit size and price are pulled from the unit type. If the unit type does not yet exist, create a unit type.
  
  

• Notes: Enter any notes for managerial use here. These notes should pertain to the unit (not the tenant) and can be viewed only by manager and admin users.
  
  

• Status:

  • Available: The unit is ready to rent or connect existing customers to.

  • Unavailable: The unit is not available for rent. If you are connecting existing rentals to our software for the first time, we recommend leaving your units in Available status.

3. Once you have filled in the unit details, click Save. Once saved, the unit will be visible in Units > List View and available to add to the site map layout under Units > Site Map.

Create units in bulk

1. Hover your mouse over the Units dropdown and click Create Multiple Units.

2. Fill in the following details:

• Names: Use a range of numbers and letters. Symbols cannot be used in the unit names.

  • Use dashes to create a run: 1-10 creates units 1, 2, 3... through 10.

  • Use commas to skip numbers: 1-5, 10-15 skips units 6 through 9.

  • You can include letters: A1-A10 creates A1, A2, etc.
    
    

• Unit Type: You can create only one unit type at a time, such as all your 5x10 units in one step, all your 10x10 units in another, and so on. This is where the ranges mentioned above can come in handy. If the unit type does not yet exist, create a unit type.
  

• Status:

  • Available: The unit is ready to rent or connect existing customers to.

  • Unavailable: The unit is not available for rent. If you are connecting existing rentals to our software for the first time, we recommend leaving your units in Available status.

3. Once you have filled in the unit details, click Preview. This shows you a summary of all units waiting to be created. Please review the size and unit numbers during the step to avoid needing to make individual edits down the road.
   
   

4. If everything looks correct, click Save. Once saved, units will be visible under Units > List View and available to add to the site map layout under Units > Site Map.
