Set up Ring In with the Setup Wizard (for Property Managers)

As a property manager, learn how to set up Ring In at your property in the Amazon Key Property Management Portal using the setup wizard.

To begin:

  1. Log in to the Amazon Key Property Management Portal and select the Property where you want to set up Ring In.
  2. Click
    Setup Ring In
    and follow the instructions.

Useful terminology:

  • Property
    : A location comprised of one or more Places.
  • Place
    : A building or group of homes or an area within a Property that has its own individual Entrance(s).
  • Entrance
    : A door or gate that controls access to a Place or to the Property.
  • Key
    : A virtual key your staff and residents can use to access specific Entrances with Ring In.
  • User
    : Any person (resident or staff) who can access Ring In-enabled Entrances at your property using the Key(s) assigned to them.

Step 1: Create Keys

Note: Under Property Keys, you will see a Default All Access Key. This Key allows Users access to all Ring In-enabled Entrances at your Property. Only assign this Key to Users that should be able to access to all Entrances of your property.

To create new Keys for specific Entrances only:

  1. Click
    Create.
  2. Enter a
    Key Name
    .
  3. (Optional) Enter a
    Key Description
    (for example, “Staff Key” or “Building A Resident Key”).
  4. Go to the
    Entrances
    tab and select all the Entrances this Key can open.
    • For example: If your Property has multiple Places (such as Building A and Building B), and each one has a separate Entrance, you can create a Key for each one by selecting the Entrance for that Place.
  5. Click
    Add Key.
  6. After adding a new Key, it will appear under
    Property Keys
    on the previous screen.
  7. To make changes to a Key, select that Key and tap
    Edit
    .
  8. To create another Key, repeat steps 2 to 5.
  9. When you've finished adding Keys to the Amazon Key Property Management Portal, click
    Next
    .

Step 2: Add Users

  1. Select the Place where you want to add Users.
  2. Click
    Download Template.
  3. A CSV file will be automatically downloaded to your computer. Add the email address, unit number, and expiry date of the Ring In User(s).
    • Only add Users who need access to this particular Place.
    • If you are adding a staff member, please enter “NA” or similar in the
      resident_aptnumber
      field.
    • If you are adding a staff member and do not have an expiry date for them, enter any date less than 2 years from the date of uploading the staff member’s information.

    the file on your computer.

    Choose File
    and select the file you just saved to your computer.
  7. Click
    Upload
    to upload the file to the Amazon Key Property Management Portal.
  8. To upload another User list for a different Place at your property, repeat steps 1 to 7.
  9. After you finish uploading your User lists to the Amazon Key Property Management Portal, click
    Next
    to start assigning Keys.

Step 3: Manage Users and Keys

Assign Keys to Users and edit User details.

Note: Adding a User to the Amazon Key Property Management Portal will give them the ability to access the Entrances of your property with Ring In.

    User
    you want to assign a Key to and click
    Edit
    .

    Default All Access Key
    .

    Save Changes
    .
  5. Click
    Finish
    to complete your Ring In setup.

    Filter Users
    bar.
  2. Click
    Place
    and select the relevant Place.
  3. Select the top tick box next to

    all Users
    in that Place
    or
    select individual email addresses to assign a Key to
    specific Users
    in that Place.

    Edit.
