How to Create a New Category

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.
