Overview
After creating unit types, you'll need to add individual storage units to your facility. Stortech makes this easy with bulk unit creation—you can add dozens of units at once by pasting a list of unit numbers.
Prerequisites
• At least one unit type created
• List of unit numbers you want to create
Understanding Units vs Unit Types
Before you begin:
• Unit Type = Category (e.g., "5x5 Climate Controlled") with pricing and features
• Unit = Individual storage space (e.g., Unit 101, Unit 102, Unit 103)
Each unit belongs to one unit type and inherits its pricing and properties.
Steps to Add Units
Step 1: Navigate to Units Page
From your facility dashboard, click "Units" in the left sidebar
2. You'll see all your unit types listed on the left
Step 2: Select a Unit Type
Click on the unit type you want to add units to
2. The right panel will show existing units for that type
3. Look for the "Add" button (orange button, top-right)
Step 3: Click Add
Click the "Add" button next to the unit type name
2. You'll be taken to the "Add a unit" form
Step 4: Enter Unit Numbers
The "Unit number" field accepts multiple unit numbers, one per line.
Tips for entering unit numbers:
• One unit per line - Press Enter after each number
• Any format works - Letters, numbers, dashes, spaces
• Paste from Excel - Copy a column and paste directly
• Case sensitive - "A-101" and "a-101" are different
Step 5: Create Units
Review your unit numbers
2. Click "Create unit" (orange button)
3. You'll return to the Units page with new units listed
After Creating Units
What Happens:
• Units are created with "Available" status
• Pricing inherits from the unit type
• Units appear in the units table immediately
• Units are added to the facility map
• Units become available for booking
