When to Use Locations vs. Buildings
Understanding the difference between Locations and Buildings is essential for setting up your units in the most efficient way:
✅ Use Locations when:
Grouping units by region, city, neighborhood, or branch.
You want to assign team members to manage units across a geographic area.
You manage units in different addresses.
📌 Example: Create a Location for “Barcelona Region” and assign local staff access to all units in that area.
✅ Use Buildings when:
You’re managing multiple units in the same physical address.
Units are part of a hotel, hostel, aparthotel, multi-family home, or apartment complex.
You want to reflect a real-world building structure.
📌 Example: Create a Building for “Calle Mallorca 42” to group all apartment units at that address.
How to create a Location or Building:
From the Minut Web App, navigate to the Properties tab and click Locations
Click Create Location or Building in the top right corner
Enter your Location or Building name
Press the “Add rental unit” button to add the rental units that should be a part of this Location.
Go to “Location access” and add the members that should have access to this Location.
Good to know
Buildings need an address. You can't convert a Location without an address into a Building, or remove the address from a Building.
Changing the address updates every unit in it. When you edit the address of a Location or Building, the address of all its units is replaced. This is useful for Buildings, but be careful with Locations, where units usually have different addresses.
One group per unit. A unit can only belong to one Location or Building at a time.
Deleting a Location or Building. Remove all members first. Deleting it unassigns its units, removes its access list and cancels pending invites to it.
Analytics and tasks. You can filter Portfolio Analytics and scope task automation to a single Location or Building.
Who can manage Locations and Buildings
Organization owner and admin: create, rename, convert, delete and edit the address; add or remove units and members; change member roles.
Location or Building admin: rename, edit the address, convert the type, add or remove units, and add or remove members. Can't delete it.
Member: sees the Locations and Buildings they belong to, with their units and members. Can't add or remove units or invite members.
