# Structure & Terms

### Workspaces

Within our Property Management System (PMS), a **workspace** serves as the central hub where users manage multiple buildings. It's the primary interface for:

* Daily operational tasks associated with building management.
* Configuring integrations with third-party systems, including but not limited to, DocuSign, Airbnb, and Stripe.

For detailed insights into authentication and access control related to workspaces, please refer to the [auth](https://docs.lavanda.app/concepts/auth "mention").

Many customers often manage multiple workspaces. It's also a common practice for customers to dedicate a single building to each workspace.

### Buildings

A **building** comprises:

* **Rooms or Units**: These are spaces reserved for guests or residents.
* **Facilities**: Non-residential areas such as offices, meeting rooms, gyms, pools, etc.

Every building is:

* Associated with a unique set of data points. Explore the **building queries** for specific details.
* Aligned with a single workspace and cannot be linked to multiple workspaces.

### Unit Types

A building encompasses various **unit types**, which define the layout or style of rooms. Think of a unit type as a template for rooms, e.g., "2 Bedroom Deluxe with terrace."

However, the definition of a unit type is flexible:

* It's determined by the customer setting up the inventory.
* One might define a unit type for each floor, while another could categorize inventory based on the duration of stay (short-term vs. long-term).

### Units

A **unit** represents a specific instance of a unit type. For instance, using the "2 Bedroom Deluxe" type as an example, there might be five units named "2 Bedroom Deluxe - Room 3A", "2 Bedroom Deluxe - Room 3B", and so on.

Each unit features:

* A unique calendar.
* Distinct availability parameters.
