Create custom attributes
You can add custom attributes to your subscription to provide supplemental search criteria for your locations, such as if pets are allowed, if golfing is available, if an airport shuttle is provided, etc.
After you save active subscription attributes, they display for all locations in the Attributes section of the Location Settings tab. Then you must have each location administrator enter appropriate responses for the attributes (for example, yes, they are a pet friendly location).
These attributes are available to all senders in the subscription when they perform location searches and send property-to-property leads, They're also available to integrated above-property systems, such as Central Sales.
If you are using DirectBook, search criteria is entered using the Tag Management feature.
