Avoid confusing combinations (e.g., 0 vs O)
Document your system for staff training
Consider physical layout when numbering
Access Code Management
Setting Codes
Individual Codes
Unique code per unit (most secure)
Random 4-6 digits
Avoid patterns like 1234
Shared Codes
Same code for multiple units

Less secure
Code Security Tips
Change codes between tenants
Don't use easily guessed codes
Keep a secure record of all codes
Test codes after setting them
Managing Large Inventories
Phased Approach
If you have 100+ units:
Start with most popular sizes
Add units as needed
Keep some in reserve
Organization Tips
Create a spreadsheet backup
Document special features per unit
Note any maintenance issues
Track which units rent fastest
Common Issues
Duplicate unit number error
Each unit needs a unique identifier
Check existing units for conflicts
Consider adding prefix or suffix
Bulk creation not available
Feature may require certain account level
Contact support for access
Use individual creation as alternative
Access codes not working
Verify code format matches your system
Check with gate/lock provider
Test with known working code
