Once your account is set up, all of your rental units are synced from your PMS and shown in Sweeply. Each box on the screen is what we call a unit.

A unit in Sweeply is one of two kinds:

Synced units are imported automatically from your PMS when you enable them there. Sweeply also syncs all bookings for these units and uses that information to derive each unit's cleaning status and occupancy.

You can create as many units as you like inside Sweeply. A unit can be anything you want — for example reception, hallways, shared bathrooms, or the garden.

Creating these units lets you register Issues against them and apply Cleaning Rules.

Synced units can only be created in your PMS. Sweeply then syncs them and creates the matching unit automatically.

To create a unit that isn't synced from your PMS, go to Settings → Units to open the Units overview.

Click New unit in the top-right corner.

Fill in the form — the only required fields are the unit's name and group. To make the unit appear on the Housekeeping board, check Display in Housekeeping.

Now that you're working with Units, learn about Cleaning Rules.

You can also customize unit names — see Renaming Units — and group units by location (floors, houses, etc.); see Unit Groups.
