Add apartments to MYBOS quickly with manual setup steps or a bulk database upload method.

Creating apartments is one of the most important steps for streamlining your MYBOS experience. 

 

In MYBOS there are 2 ways to add apartments in MYBOS 

How to Add New Apartments in MYBOS via the Resident Feature 

Step by Step Walkthrough

Step 1: In the MYBOS Building Manager Portal, select the Residents feature on the left hand side menu. 

Step 2: Select the Apartments tab, this is where you will see a list of all apartments associated with your building.

Step 3: Click the blue New Apartment button in the top right. Enter the apartment number and click Save to finalise the apartment. 

Step 4: Repeat for the remaining apartments in your building.

❗ This method can take a little longer, but it works well when you only need to add a few apartments at a time. For a faster option, see the steps below.

How to Add New Apartments in MYBOS via the Database Upload

Step by Step Walkthrough

Step 1: In the Building Manager portal, on the left hand menu click the Settings menu

Step 2: Under the Others section, Click Database Upload 

Step 3: Under the Resident database section, click Download template (XLS) download file to download the excel template.

Step 4: Open the recently downloaded file. Once it has opened in Excel, ensure the click the Enable Editing button, otherwise you will be unable to input your own data to the template

Step 5: Complete the Apartment Number column. In this template, you can also enter the remaining resident details for each resident, which will take more time to complete. If you prefer to only bulk upload apartments and have residents enter their own details when they register, simply complete the Apartment Number column only.

❗ Although names are red, when the Apartment Number column is filled out on its own, the upload will be successful.

Step 6: Continue typing all apartment numbers.

💡 For faster input in Excel:

  • Type the first two apartment numbers in the correct sequence (for example, 101 and 102) in the Apartment Number column.

  • Next, highlight both cells so that Excel recognises the pattern. Move your cursor to the bottom-right corner of the highlighted cells until the small fill handle (a black cross) appears, then click and drag down over the remaining cells.

  • Excel will automatically continue the sequence and fill the rest of the apartment numbers in order, saving you from having to enter each number manually.

Step 7: Once completed, Click the Save icon in the top left corner of Excel. This will overwrite the blank downloaded template.

Step 8: Navigate back to the Database Upload portal. In the blue upload box, click to upload your resident database file.

Step 9: Click Start to upload the file to MYBOS.

Step 10: A successful upload will say X items added, 0 skipped, meaning that the entire upload was successful. If update informs you that some items have been skipped you will need to check the upload report and rectify the issue. For more information click here.
