This guide explains how to apply Attributes to a Category in RMS, so staff and guests can filter Categories by their features.

Overview

Attributes are features used to filter Properties, Categories, or Areas in RMS and on the RMS Booking Engine.
They can highlight key features like accessibility, special views, or luxury items.

Category Attributes are the Attributes the RMS Booking Engine uses for amenity filters. A Category Attribute appears as an amenity filter on the RMS Booking Engine when both of the following are true:

• RMS Online Filter is selected on the Attribute in Setup > Lookup Tables > Attributes.
• The Attribute is assigned to at least one Category, using the steps in this article.

Area Attributes are not shown as filters on the RMS Booking Engine.

Please Note! Amenity filters are being released to properties in stages. To request early access for a property, contact RMS Support.

You can also control their sort order on the Interactive Map by starting the description with a number and a space.

Tip! Attributes can only be assigned to the type selected in the  'Associated To' setup.

Please Note! RMS is highly configurable. Some Terminology, User Access & Permissions, Images, Labels, and Functions used in these articles may differ from your setup. CLICK HERE to find out more.
