Create Your First Project

This guide will help you create your first project in Gridix. You can create projects by importing data from Excel/Google Sheets or by setting them up manually.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:
  • A verified Gridix account
  • Access to the admin dashboard
  • Project data ready (apartment numbers, floors, rooms, area, price, status)

​
Choosing a Creation Method

Gridix offers two ways to create a project:
Best for projects with existing data in spreadsheets. Supports:
  • Excel files (.xlsx, .xls)
  • CSV files
  • Google Sheets (via link)
Import by link allows automatic synchronization when your spreadsheet updates.

​
Method 1: Import from Excel

1

Open project creation

In the admin dashboard, click “Projects” in the sidebar, then click “Create New Project”.
2

Choose import method

Select “Import from Excel” tab. You can either:
  • Upload a file from your computer
  • Import from Google Sheets using a link
3

Prepare your data

Ensure your Excel file contains the required columns:
  • Apartment number
  • Floor number
  • Number of rooms
  • Area (in square meters)
  • Price
  • Status (available, sold, reserved, etc.)
Download our template file to ensure proper formatting: Click “Download Template” in the import dialog.
4

Upload or link file

  • File upload: Click “Upload Excel file” and select your file
  • Google Sheets: Paste your Google Sheets link (any format supported)
5

Map columns

Gridix will detect your columns automatically. Review and adjust the mapping if needed:
  • Match your column names to Gridix fields
  • Verify data types are correct
  • Add any custom fields you need
6

Configure floor layout

Answer the question about floor layouts:
  • Same layout on all floors: Mark apartments once and apply to all floors
  • Different layouts: Configure each floor separately
If layouts are the same, you’ll save significant time during setup.
