Creating Projects

Projects are the foundation of Gridix. Each project represents a real estate development with floor plans, apartments, and pricing. This guide covers both manual creation and import methods.

​
Creation Methods Overview

Gridix offers two primary methods for creating projects:

Import from Excel/Google Sheets

Fast and efficient for projects with existing data. Supports Excel files and Google Sheets links with automatic synchronization.

Manual Setup

Full control over project structure. Perfect for new developments or when you need complete customization.

​
Method 1: Import from Excel

Importing from Excel is the fastest way to create a project when you already have data in a spreadsheet.

​
Preparing Your Data

Your Excel file should contain the following columns:
ColumnDescriptionRequiredExample
Apartment NumberUnique apartment identifier✅101, 102, A-1
FloorFloor number✅1, 2, 3
RoomsNumber of rooms✅1, 2, 3, 4+
AreaArea in square meters✅45.5, 68.2
PriceApartment price✅5500000, 7200000
StatusAvailability status✅свободна, продана, забронирована
Download the template file from the import dialog to ensure proper formatting. The template includes all required columns with example data.

​
Import Process

1

Open Project Creation

In the admin dashboard, navigate to Projects and click “Create New Project”.
2

Select Import Method

Choose “Import from Excel” tab. You’ll see two options:
  • Upload File: Upload Excel file from your computer
  • Import by Link: Connect to Google Sheets via link
3

Upload or Link File

For File Upload:
  • Click “Upload Excel file”
  • Select your .xlsx, .xls, or .csv file
  • Wait for file processing
For Google Sheets:
  • Click “By link” tab
  • Paste your Google Sheets link (any format)
  • Gridix will automatically convert and sync
4

Map Columns

Gridix auto-detects columns, but you can adjust:
  • Review detected column mappings
  • Match your column names to Gridix fields
  • Verify data types
  • Add custom fields if needed
5

Configure Floor Layout

Answer the floor layout question:
  • Same layout: Mark apartments once, apply to all floors
  • Different layouts: Configure each floor separately
If all floors have the same layout, you’ll save significant time during setup.
6

Review Data

Review the preview of imported data:
  • Check apartment count
  • Verify data accuracy
  • Review any warnings or errors
7

Create Project

Click “Create Project” to finalize. The project will be created with all apartments and data.

Always Up-to-Date

Data automatically syncs when your spreadsheet updates. No need to re-upload files.

No Re-upload Needed

Changes in Google Sheets are reflected automatically in Gridix.

Real-time Sync

Updates happen automatically when data changes in your spreadsheet.
