# Key (unit)

### General information

* All keys belonging to the unit can be digitally recorded and managed via the **"Key"** tab.
* All entered keys to the unit are clearly listed. The **"+ Create Key"** button can be used to assign new keys to a unit.
* All captured keys are automatically transferred to the handover protocol.

{% hint style="info" %}
Keys can only be entered at the level of a unit and are therefore always assigned to a specific unit. The "Keys" function allows you to keep track of all issued and circulating keys of a unit at all times.

<table><thead><tr><th width="170.08984375">Field</th><th>Explanation</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Key number (optional)</td><td>The key number is usually the <strong>Lock cylinder number</strong> . It is usually located directly on the key and is used to <strong>unique identification and assignment</strong> within Key Management.</td></tr><tr><td>Key Name</td><td>The key name is used to <strong>general name</strong> of the key – e.g. <em>Front door</em>, <em>Apartment door</em>, <em>Mailbox</em> or <em>Cellar</em>. It helps to clearly distinguish between different keys within a unit and to manage them clearly.</td></tr><tr><td>Quantity</td><td>Here you enter how many copies of the respective key are available. This information is important for the documentation at the handover of the apartment and automates the subsequent <strong>Entry in the handover protocol</strong>.</td></tr><tr><td>Description (optional)</td><td>Optional field for internal notes on the respective key. Here it can be noted, for example, <strong>which areas / doors the key opens</strong> or <strong>Special features</strong> for use or attribution.</td></tr></tbody></table>
{% endstep %}

#### Save key

By clicking on "Save", the key is created in Immodio. If several keys are to be created at the same time, the next key can be entered directly again via "Create key".
