The property module is where properties and accommodation types are created
and managed. Properties and accommodation types are displayed on the calendar
and are used to create reservation itineraries. The property module includes
setting up:
- Business units
- Property details
- Property notes
- Property users
- Property rates
- Accommodation units

(creating, editing and deleting properties, accommodations and their related
information). All property setup functions are available from the Property
module (also known as the property tree). Only internal users with Properties:
read, update or management access can access the property module.
