When setting up ButterflyMX at your property, one of the first things you will need to do is add your building’s units and floors into the ButterflyMX OS.

If you use a property management software (PMS) such as Entrata, RealPage, Yardi, or Rent Manager, you can automate unit and floor management through our PMS integrations, which automatically transfers tenant, unit, and floor data into the ButterflyMX system.

If you do not use a PMS or have not integrated yours with ButterflyMX, you can add units and floors manually.

In this post, we will walk you through:
