Adding and a property in Onside
Getting your property set up is super quick. It takes only a few seconds to set up its boundaries. Take a look at this video to see how easy it is.
You can create your property directly from the Onside app or follow the instructions below for the web portal.
Step 1: Log in
Log into the Onside web portal via our website and navigate to the 'Managed Properties' option in the sidemenu. The page will look like this.
Most pages in Onside have a green action button in the top right of the page. On this page it will let you add a new property. Click the green +property button.
Step 2: Your property details
Now you'll need to enter your property details.
Give your property a name and address visitors and contractors will recognize. If you have many properties on your account, you can also put them into groups for easier management if you're a Company Admin for your account.
Step 3: Setting up your noticeboard
Every property in Onside has it's own noticeboard that allows you to update and share key information on the app that contractors, visitors, and staff can see when they are checked into a property. The noticeboard is available from the Home tab while checked in to a property. There are 3 tabs:
- General tab
You can share anything here, some of our suggestions include the property’s Wifi code, gate combinations, event information, or anything else!
- Rules tab
Your Check-in Rules are added to the Noticeboard so that they can be referenced while someone is checked in, as well as giving them direct access to any files you've attached. Find out about Check-in Rules here. - Emergency tab
This information has also been added to the noticeboard so that everything from helicopter landing coordinates to emergency locations are easy to find and in one place. Find out about setting up your Emergency Plan here.
Step 4: Set up your boundary
To create your property's boundary, click the pencil button and then click the map to create points around your property, returning to your first point to finish your shape.
If you're in New Zealand, you'll also have the option of LINZ titles. Simply click the 'Use LINZ title' button and click where your boundary should be.
You can drag the points of your boundary around or create more to get it exactly right. If you have multiple blocks near each other, you can create them as one property by clicking your draw button again after finishing your last shape.
Click Finish when you're happy with the boundary.
Separate boundaries cannot be more than 250m apart.

Step 5: Photo
Before you click 'Add' to create your property, you can also add a photo. This helps your staff and return visitors to identify your property quicker and easier. Most users put a picture of the main entrance to the property.
If you don't have a picture handy, you can always add one later.
Delete a property
If you need to delete your property, go to the 'Info' tab of the property, click the 3 dot menu in the top left of the page and select 'Delete'.
You property data cannot be recovered if this is done.
