6. Enter the Unit Manually
Click "Enter Unit Manually" to proceed with adding the units on the Aruvo Portal.
Important Note:
- The PMS Sync Status will be "Disabled" by default when you link a PMS Integration on the Aruvo Portal, Sync status should be enabled so that the stay details can sync to the respective property on the Aruvo Portal.
- You will be able to Import the units from the PMS even if the PMS Sync status is disabled. How to: Turn PMS Stay Syncing On and Off
- Click on "Enter Units details Manually"
- Add the details for the unit, such as unit display name, address, state, city, zip code, country, timezone, Wi-Fi information, stay check-in/check-out times, and iCal URL.
The fields marked with a red star are the required fields, and you cannot skip these. You can skip the rest and fill in the information for them later on as well.
- Click on Save at the top-right side to save the details for this Unit.
Important note:
If you wish you can skip any fields that are not marked with a red asterisk for now, and enter the information for them later on as well.
After you save the details, you can click on "Enter Units details Manually" again to add the next Unit, and the already added one will start showing as synced under the Integration tab.
