Room type categories are used to organize room types into groups, allowing guests to search for rooms based on category and for customized automatic emails.

Creating and Assigning Categories

1. Go to Settings -> Accommodations -> Categories.
2. Click the pencil icon under “Categorie label”.
3. Name the label for categories that will display when guests use the booking engine, like “Choose Location”, and then click “Save”.
4. Click “Add New Category”, name it, and click “Save”.
   • Repeat this step to create multiple categories.
5. Go to Settings -> Accommodations and click “Edit” adjacent to a room type.
6. Under “Categories” check all that will apply to this room type.
   • The category picker’s auto-select feature and automatic emails based on category only work for room types with a single category.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for all room types.
