Introduction to storEDGE marketing websites - for SiteLink users

help_site_sitelink.png

This guide is intended for marketing website users who use SiteLink as their management software. If you do not use SiteLink as your software provider and you can't find what you're looking for, contact our support team for assistance.

Your storEDGE website was designed with your prospective customers in mind and includes a variety of features that make renting a unit, viewing amenities, or paying bills easy. Additionally, your website is integrated with your SiteLink software, ensuring data like vacant unit counts, pricing, and facility information is consistent between your software and your website. Your storEDGE marketing website is intended to generate leads and provide an online storefront for your business.

Some of the settings that control your website will be located within your SiteLink software and some settings will be located within storEDGE, and the two platforms will communicate information to one another. This guide is intended to help you understand and manage your new website using both SiteLink and storEDGE and help you understand how the two platforms pass information to one another.

How information is shared between SiteLink and storEDGE

Since some of your facility’s information lives in SiteLink and some of it lives in storEDGE, it’s vital to know what information is based where and specifically what information is passed from platform to platform. The arrows below shows you the direction that information is passed. You’ll notice that some information is linked and not directly passed.

Corporate Settings

Your Corporate Settings contain all settings pertaining to users and user permissions. There are five sections in your Corporate Settings:

  • Users: Within your Users section, you can create new user accounts and see all the users you have added to your company. Additionally, you can assign a role to a user, which determines which permissions the user will have.

  • User Settings: Your User Settings give you a variety of optional security-related settings, such as automatic logout timing and password verification.
  • Roles: Your Roles allow you to define which users have permission to access and perform specific functions in your website admin and in storEDGE. 

  • Facility Info: The Facility Info section is where you can add a variety of information about your facility. Although the facility information that appears on your website comes directly from your SiteLink software, you can add additional information here.

  • Lead Notifications: From the Lead Notifications section, you can enter email addresses that you'd like to receive a notification when you have a new lead at your facility. You can read about how to set up lead notifications on the storEDGE Help Center.
