1. What are 'Units'

Once you have set up your account, you can see all of your rental units have been synced and displayed in Sweeply. These boxes on your screen are what we call units.

The definition of a unit in Sweeply is twofold:

Synced units

Synced units are the rental units synced from Sweeply. These have been automatically imported when you enable them in your PMS.

We also sync all bookings for the synced units, and we use the information to derive the cleaning status and occupancy of each unit.

Other units

You can create as many units as you like within Sweeply. A unit can be whatever you want, for example, reception, hallways, shared bathrooms, or anything else you decide.

By creating these units, you will be able to register 'Issues' on these units and apply 'Cleaning Rules'.

2. Creating 'Units'

Synced units

Synced units can only be created from within the PMS. Sweeply will automatically sync the unit and create a new unit in Sweeply.

Other units

Units not synced to your PMS can be created by navigating to 'Settings' and from the dropdown selecting 'Units'. We will take you to the 'Units' overview page.

To create a new unit, press the 'New unit' button in the top right corner.

Fill in the information in the form, and the only required fields are the name and the group of the unit. To make the unit show up in the 'Housekeeping dashboard', you check the box that says 'Display in Housekeeping'.

Now that you have started working with 'Units' I think it would be very interesting for you to learn about our 'Cleaning Rules'.

Sweeply allows you to customize the names of your Units according to your specific needs. To do this, you can access the article on Renaming Units, which provides step-by-step instructions on how to modify the names of your Units. This feature allows you to keep track of your Units more efficiently and tailor their names to your preferences.

Sweeply also offers a convenient feature that allows you to categorize rooms based on location. This means you can group rooms by floors, houses, or any other location category that makes sense for your space. With this functionality, you can easily keep track of each room's location and organize your cleaning tasks more efficiently. To do this, you can access the article on Unit Groups.
