How do I add a new apartment type?

During your initial sign-up to the Acomodeo Apartment Management System (AMS), you will be taken through a step-by-step guide, where you will have created your first apartment type. To add more apartment types, please follow the steps outlined below:

If you currently only manage one property in the AMS:

1. To add an apartment type, click on "My Property", followed by "View my property" in the AMS sidebar. You will now see an overview of the property that you currently manage.
2. In the upper part of the page, you will see all the relevant information regarding your property. Below that, you will see the apartment type you created during the guide.
3. Click on "Add new apartment type". On the next page, you can begin to enter all the necessary information in each section related to your apartment type.
4. You can see which fields have been filled correctly by the tick or cross mark in the left corner of each section.
5. Once you have entered all the applicable information, click on "Save apartment type".
6. After saving your apartment type, you can now add a rate plan ("Add custom acomodeo rates") or connect to external rates ("Add external rates"). Your apartment type will only be visible on Acomodeo.com when it has rate information assigned to it.
