Add units manually or import from Excel

Create units one by one, generate a batch, or bulk-import hundreds from a spreadsheet.

Requires permission agency.units.import

Units are what you lease or sell: apartments, shops, offices, warehouses, parking bays. There are three ways to create them.

One at a time

  1. Open the property and go to the Units tab, or open Units from the sidebar and press New unit.
  2. Fill in the unit number, type, floor, bedrooms/bathrooms, area and the asking rent or sale price.
  3. Save. The unit starts as “Vacant” and is ready to lease, list or reserve.

Generate a batch

On the property's Units tab choose Generate units. Give a numbering pattern (e.g. floors 1–10, units 01–04) and shared defaults; Boyoti creates them all at once. You can edit individual ones afterwards.

Import from Excel

  1. Press Import on the Units page and download the template. It has one row per unit with columns for property, unit number, type, floor, area, bedrooms, rent and status.
  2. Fill the sheet (keep the header row), then upload it.
  3. Review the preview: rows with problems are highlighted with the reason (unknown property, duplicate number…). Fix the sheet and re-upload, or skip bad rows.
  4. Press Import. Existing units matched by property + unit number are updated, new ones are created.

Importing is idempotent — you can re-run the same sheet after fixing errors without creating duplicates.

Your plan has a units limit. The Units page shows how many you have used; see Usage limits and overage.

Importing needs agency.units.import; creating single units needs agency.units.create.
