Custom Property Features
The Custom Property Feature allows you to add new custom features under the property features section. To find this section, you can click on the Property specifically and select the Marketing tab. You can then scroll down until you see the Property Features section.
To add a new Property Feature, you can go to the Custom Property Feature setting. From here, you can click the green button labeled '+ New Property Feature'
Here you can enter the Category this feature would fall under and its own Custom Name.
You can also toggle whether this Custom Property feature is a Key Feature or not.
The property categories are:
Kitchen
Flooring
Rooms
Amenities
Outdoor
Community
In this example, you can see we made a new Custom Property Feature for the Kitchen as Marble Countertops, and this is a Key Feature.
This will now show for each property that you can toggle on or off.
You can also create a Custom Property Feature directly from the same screen by selecting the Category and clicking 'Add Feature'

Your group will be saved. Click on it, and you can add properties to the group
Click Add Properties: you can add as many properties as you would like
Check the boxes of the properties you would like to add to the group, and then click Next
