3D Unit Images
1. Introduction
The 3D Unit Images section in the Rental System Settings of the Storagely Dashboard allows facility operators to assign 3D images to different storage unit sizes and types. These images enhance the online rental experience by providing visual representations of units, helping potential renters better understand available options.
2. Navigating to 3D Unit Images Settings
To access the 3D Unit Images settings:
- Log in to your Storagely Dashboard.
- In the left sidebar menu, click on Rental System.
- Select 3D Unit Images from the available options.
3. Understanding the 3D Unit Images Interface
The 3D Unit Images page consists of multiple sections for managing and assigning unit images.
A. Selecting Unit Types for Image Assignment
- A dropdown menu allows users to select a specific unit type (e.g., Drive-Up, Climate-Controlled, RV/Boat Storage).
- Users can select “All Types” to apply an image to multiple unit types at once.
B. Assigning 3D Images to Specific Unit Sizes
- When a unit size is selected, the system displays any unassigned unit sizes below that still require a 3D image.
- Users can bulk select multiple unit sizes and assign them to a single image.
- Once the unit sizes have been selected, click "Confirm Selected Sizes" to upload the 3D image.
C. Uploading 3D Images
- Facility operators can upload a custom 3D image for each unit type and size.
- The uploaded image must be in an accepted file format (e.g., .jpg, .png, .webp).
- Users must click “Save Changes” to apply the image to the selected unit sizes.
D. Managing Existing 3D Images
- The image management section displays all previously uploaded 3D images.
- Each image shows:
- The unit type it is assigned to.
- The unit sizes associated with the image.
- The current publish/unpublish status.
- Operators can edit or remove images as needed.
E. Publishing or Unpublishing 3D Images
- Users can publish all assigned 3D unit images for public visibility.
- If needed, operators can unpublish all images to temporarily disable them from customer view.
