Create or edit a unit

The Create a Unit and Edit a Unit side panels allow an admin user to add new units (apartments) to the system or update existing ones.
Units are essential for linking owners, calculating contributions, and managing the maintenance plan.

Owners

• The admin user can link the unit to 0, 1, or multiple owners.

Key Points

• Utility interest is essential for contribution calculations.

• Linking units to owners ensures they have access to unit-specific contributions.

• Optional fields like floor area and floor are helpful for reporting, planning, or management purposes but are not required to create the unit.
