Buildings are created during onboarding by your Cove team, and floors and suites are built out within them to reflect your property's physical layout.\n\nEvery work order, maintenance task, and inspection is tied to a specific location. The floors and suites you configure here populate the location dropdowns across those modules. When you assign floors and suites to a tenant organization, those locations become the options that tenant sees when submitting requests.\n\nKeeping your location data complete and accurate ensures work orders reach the right team, charges are associated to the right tenant, and your reporting reflects a true picture of activity across your property. For properties with multiple buildings, adding a building address ensures visitors receive the correct building address in their invitation email rather than the general site address.\n\nAdd manually\n\nAdding a building address\n\nBulk Upload\n\nDelete\n\nAdd Manually\nWhen adding floors, suite types, and suites manually, we recommend doing so in this order:\nAdd Floors\n\nClick + Add Floor in the upper right corner.\n\nSelect the appropriate building from the dropdown menu.\n\nName the floor.\n\nClick Save. This floor will now appear in the Floors tab of the Buildings, Floors, and Suites table.\n\nAdd Suite Types\nUse suite types to determine suite visibility and control the availability of locations in which tenants can submit work order requests. Create dynamic routing for inspections so the platform can identify locations that need to be inspected based on the suite type association.\n\nClick + Add Suite Type in the upper right corner.\n\nName the suite type. Examples: common area, mechanical room, restroom, stairwell, tenant unit.\n\nDetermine suite visibility. This setting defines which users can create work orders in this suite:\n\nShared: any tenant user\n\nTenant: only tenants occupying this suite\n\nInternal: only users on the building team\n\nClick Save. This suite type will now appear in the Suite Type tab of the Buildings, Floors, and Suites table.\n\nAdd Suites\n\nClick + Add Suite in the upper right corner.\n\nSelect the appropriate building from the dropdown menu.\n\nSelect the appropriate floor from the dropdown menu.\n\nName the suite.\n\nSelect the suite type.\n\nClick Save. This suite will now appear in the Suites tab of the Buildings, Floors, and Suites table.\n\nAdding a Building Address\nTo add or update a building address, click the edit icon on the building row you want to update. The Edit Building drawer will open with the following fields:\n\nName: The building name.\n\nExternal Billing ID: Optional. Used for accounting integrations.\n\nBuilding Address: Leave blank unless this building has a unique address that differs from the site address. If the property has multiple buildings with different addresses, fill out all fields: Address, City, State, and ZIP Code.\n\nNote: If no building address is added, visitor invitation emails will default to the general site address. When a building address is configured, visitors whose host is located in that building will receive the specific building address in their invitation email.\nClick Save.\nBulk Upload\nUse the bulk upload to add floors, suites, and suite types in one step rather than adding them individually.\nNote: The bulk upload is for creating new records only, not updating existing ones.\n\nNavigate to Property Setup > Buildings, Floors, and Suites and click Upload Floors & Suites.\n\nClick Download Template and follow the instructions in the template to fill in your floor, suite, and suite type data.\n\nExport the completed sheet as a .CSV file.\n\nClick Upload Floors and Suites, follow the prompts as your file is scanned, and correct any errors if needed before re-uploading.\n\nDelete Buildings, Floors, and Suites\nTo delete a building, floor, or suite, click the trash icon next to each.\n\nPrior to deleting a building, first remove the associated floor(s) and suite(s) from that building.\n\nPrior to deleting a floor, first remove the associated suite(s) from that floor.\n\nDeleting a suite will remove it from future use and from any associated tenants. Any previous work associated with the suite will remain.\n\nPrior to a building, floor, or suite being deleted, a warning message will appear. If you would like to proceed, choose Yes, Delete.","capture_id":"577f299b373b96ad99d3f65470a4e852e82f9d04ea43d2df12eb6f079b9e32d1","captured_at":"2026-10-12T13:25:00.697Z","published_at":null,"indexed_at":"2026-10-12T13:25:00.733Z","truncated":0,"scope_tier":"primary","monitor_reason":"","last_error":null,"last_attempt_at":"2026-10-12T13:25:00.079Z","enabled":1,"evidence_notes":[],"text_available":true,"media":["https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/49944342729236","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/49408531730324","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/34283851835156"],"interpretation":"Unreviewed source evidence.
