Keeping things organized is essential for productivity and efficiency.  Item categories help you group your items into categories that best suit your preferences. 

You can group items into food & beverages, or be more specific with the types of food items, like fruits. This feature is tailored to be a more “YOU” focused feature, and there are no restrictions on how you can group your items. 

Tip: For larger properties, we recommend being more specific in categorizing your items. Smaller properties can afford to be general, and still get excellent productivity.

Here's how to create a category in your Prostray dashboard 

Go to: Property Management System > Settings > Item Categories.

1. Click “Add New Category.”
2. Name the category.
3. Enter a shortcode for that category
4. Enter a description for the item category. You can make this description short, or elaborate.
5. Click “Save.”

Troubleshooting: 

If you end up with this screen when trying to create a new category, it simply means you're attempting to duplicate category codes. Each item should have a unique code that distinguishes it. This helps you stay organized.
