Created by Mienette van Heerden, Modified on Thu, 13 Jun, 2024 at 2:21 PM by Glennise Pretorius

1. Manually Add Units

Navigation: Community Level > Units > Unit Details



On the pop-up screen, enter the necessary information relevant to the new unit.


The following are all required fields:


  • Block Number
  • Unit/Door/Section number
  • Name
  • Entity Type




2. Upload New Units

Navigation: Community Level > Units > Unit Details


Export the units to Excel, then open the downloaded document in Excel.



Add the new units at the bottom of the Excel document as per the yellow in the example below.



Important: Do not change any of the rows around. Keep the previously loaded information in its original place and only add units at the bottom. 


Do not add any rows in between. The system will automatically sort it in the correct numerical order once it has been uploaded.



The following columns need to be completed with the owner's information:


  • Column B: Section Number
  • Column C: Unit Number
  • Column D: Door Number
  • Column F: PQ - If available, this can be added later at Unit - Unit PQ




  • Column P: Customer Name - This will reflect on the communication sent from the system
  • Column Q: ID, this is optional
  • Column R: Email Address is a mandatory field otherwise the owner cannot log in to the owner portal.



Important: only ONE email per cell.


  • Column S: Client number, ensure that it starts with a 27 and not a 0
  • Column T- X: The new owner's contact details if available




  • Column Y: Postal Address separated by commas. 




Example: Wherever the comma is placed is where the new line item will start.



3 Graham Street, Boston, Bellville, Cape Town, 7530 will appear like this on the customer statement:



3 Graham Street

Boston

Cape Town

7530


  • Column Z-AE: if details are available.
  • Column AF & AG: Do NOT insert any information here. 
  • Column AH: Rental Agent Email and/or a third email should it be necessary.
  • Column AI: Do NOT add customer code, the system will auto-generate this for each unit.
  • Column AJ: Customer Name - This is the same name as column P. This will be the name reflected on the customer invoice and statement. 




Column AK and AL: Please do not copy and paste any information from. These 2 columns should be left BLANK



Once the needed information has been captured at the bottom of the sheet, navigate back to WeconnectU and click on Buld Edit Units.
