### Property Settings
Min Price: If you set this you cannot set a price lower than this amount
Max Price: If you set this you cannot set a price higher than this amount
Automatic availability settings - This is what happens when a booking arrives in Channex, should Channex increase or decrease availability automatically or not
New Booking - When a new booking comes should Channex reduce availability (Recommended ON)
Modified Booking - When a modified booking comes should Channex change availability
Cancelled Booking - When a cancellation comes should Channex increase availability
### Inventory Days
This setting controls how many days your inventory will hold. Default is 500 but we can go up to 730 days.
### Min Stay Settings
This setting will simplify the user experience when you connect a OTA channel. Right now most OTA only support 1 Min stay and you select which one you send. If you set here at the property level then it removes this choice and makes less setting problems and bookings for less nights than expected.
### Cut Off Time
You can set a time to stop bookings being made for the current night. This is useful for small properties where they don't want last minute bookings in the evening. Once this time hits we change availability to 0 and it cannot be changed unless you turn off the setting.
{% hint style="warning" %}
We change date at 2am property time each night. So if you set at 00 it will stop bookings between Midnight and 2am. If you want to set a 24 hours cut off better to set at 11:30 and 2 days.
{% endhint %}
### Add New Group
To add a new group please click the Create button and choose to add a group
A group is a simple field to ask for a name.
The purpose of a group is to collect a number of properties together for viewing or reporting purposes.
{% hint style="info" %}
A property can be a member of multiple groups
{% endhint %}
###
### Assign a property to a group
Click on actions button on the group and assign property. Then select a property from the list to add.
### Remove a Property from a group
{% hint style="warning" %}
If the property is only a member of one group, the remove options will be disabled. This is because every property must be a member of at least 1 group.
