Unit Type
Maintain the list of unit types available within a housing cluster.
What it’s for
A unit type is just a category, like “Studio.” This screen keeps that list up to date for a cluster, so units and listings elsewhere in the app can be sorted by it.
Where to find it
Sidebar → Settings → Unit Type, at /admin/settings/unit-type.
Who can use it
- See the menu item and open the page — needs view.
- See the list — needs get.
- Create, edit, delete — each needs its own permission, so a role can, for example, edit unit types without being able to delete them.
On this screen
A searchable table of unit types for the cluster you’ve currently got selected, with edit and delete on each row, plus a Create Unit Type button.
How to…
Create a unit type
- Click Create Unit Type.
- Enter a title, like “Studio.”
- Save.
The cluster is set automatically to whichever one you’ve currently selected — there’s no cluster picker in the form.
Edit a unit type
- Click edit on the row.
- Change the title.
- Save.
Delete a unit type
- Click delete on the row.
- Confirm.
The confirmation dialog tells you this can’t be undone.
Field reference
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Yes | The only thing you can edit |
| Cluster | Yes | Comes from your currently selected cluster — not picked in the form |
Rules & statuses
No lifecycle here — a unit type just exists until you edit or delete it. Deleting is immediate and can’t be undone from this screen.
