As a Property Admin in the ButterflyMX system, you have the ability to manage your tenant list. You can add, remove, or update your tenant data at any time.

If you use Property Management Software such as Entrata, RealPage, Yardi, or RentManager, you can automate this process through our PMS integrations. By integrating your PMS, your tenant data will automatically sync with ButterflyMX.

You can also do this manually within the ButterflyMX system in just a few steps. Read this post to learn how.

Note: Your resident or unit list must be in a .csv file format to be uploaded into our system.

 

How to import a list of tenants:

  1. Log into the Property Management Dashboard
  2. Click ‘Imports’
  3. Click ‘+ New Residential Import’
  4. Hit ‘Browse’ and search for the .csv file you want to upload. Then hit ‘Upload’
  5. Match each data type
  6. Click ‘Import’
  7. Find the import in the ‘Tenant’ section of your account.
