Facility Information
| Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Facility Name | Display name of the facility | Yes |
| App URL | URL identifier (slug) used across all apps | No |
| Facility Overview | Overview description of the facility (text or URL) | No |
| Terms of Use | Facility terms of use (text or URL) | No |

App URL (Facility Slug)
The slug is the URL identifier used across all apps (delivery, reservations, check-in, etc.).
URL format: xxx.unlockos.io/{slug}
Example: setting the slug to sakura-mansion makes the app URLs follow the pattern xxx.unlockos.io/sakura-mansion/.
Slug Rules
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| Allowed characters | Lowercase letters (a-z), digits (0-9), hyphens (-) |
| Minimum length | 3 characters |
| Format | Must start and end with a lowercase letter or digit |
| Uniqueness | Cannot duplicate another facility's slug |
A real-time uniqueness check runs as you type.
- Checkmark (✓): slug is available
- Cross (✗): slug is already taken or the format is invalid
Slug and QR Codes
Once a slug is set, the registration QR codes shown on the Delivery Management "QR Codes" tab embed slug-based URLs (resident.unlockos.io/{slug}/register?room=...).
If you change the slug, any previously printed QR codes (using the old slug) will stop working. Always reprint and redistribute QR codes after changing the slug.
The slug is auto-generated when a facility is created. You can edit it later, but be aware that changing it invalidates existing QR codes.

FAQ
Q: Does changing the tax rate affect existing plans?
A: Yes, the tax rate in Basic Settings applies to pricing calculations for all plans.
Q: What happens when Outside Business Hours Policy is set to "Deny"?
A: Attempting to check in outside business hours will display an error message and block the check-in.
Q: Can I change a team member's permissions later?
A: Currently, you cannot change permissions once invited. Please re-invite with the new permissions.
Q: How long is the invitation email valid?
A: Invitation links are valid for 7 days. Please re-invite if expired.
Q: What happens if I don't set the App URL?
A: Without a slug, QR codes cannot be generated on the Delivery Management "QR Codes" tab. A slug is required to use the resident delivery service.
Q: What happens to existing residents if I change the slug?
A: Changing the slug invalidates all previously issued QR codes and registration URLs. After changing, reprint and redistribute QR codes from the "QR Codes" tab. Residents who have already registered can continue using the app, but will need to access it via the new URL when logging in again.
Q: What if I type characters that aren't allowed in the slug?
A: The input field automatically converts uppercase letters to lowercase and removes any characters other than lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens.
Q: "This URL is already in use" appears
A: The slug you entered is used by another facility. Try a different value. A unique identifier derived from your building name works well (e.g. add a number like your-building-2).
Q: Where are the Facility Overview, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy displayed?
A: They are shown on guest-facing screens such as reservation confirmation pages and delivery (okihai) instruction screens. Use URL mode if you already have a policy page on your website, or Text Input mode to enter content directly.
Q: Can I switch between text and URL input modes at any time?
A: Yes, you can switch using the radio buttons at any time. Note that switching input modes will not preserve previously entered content, so save before switching if needed.
