This article is a resource for all clients taking advantage of the free integration between SiteLink Web Edition and SpareFoot.
SpareFoot needs to know the full scoop about each of your units - what are the dimensions? The price? Are they inside or outside? Are they available for vehicle storage? Some of this information is set in SiteLink Web Edition, while some is set in MySpareFoot. Read on to see where each bit of information comes from as well as how to make changes.

Editing unit data in SiteLink Web Edition
From the Company section, select Modify Units.
All unit attributes we've identified as coming from SiteLink will appear at the top of the screen.
Please note that if any units are mislabeled in SiteLink, they'll also show up incorrectly on SpareFoot. However, it's easy to modify unit attributes in SiteLink.

2. Click Edit selections on the right side of the screen. You'll see a screen pop up that looks like this:
3. Make any changes you need to make to the units.
In our current example, we're attempting to mark these four units as not inside. To do that, we should uncheck the Inside box.
4. Click OK.
You'll see the new unit attributes that you've saved updated on SpareFoot within the hour.
Editing unit data in MySpareFoot
1. Navigate to the Features page in your MySpareFoot account.
2. From the Units tab, click Edit for the row of the unit group that you need to make changes to.
3. Select the applicable amenities for that unit group.
Don’t forget, if a field is grey and you aren’t able to make any changes, that means that the information is coming from your SiteLink software. We’ve highlighted the required fields in the screenshot below, but the more detail you can add, the better! This will help customers make the best choice for their needs.
4. Don’t forget to click Save when you’re done!
