Release 24.2
Classify Properties Based on Segments in Platform
Stay is enhanced to allow users to classify properties based on segments created for a tenant in Agilysys Platform.
For example, users can segment the properties based on their location, that is, all properties within the same location can be grouped together in a segment.
This classification of properties helps users to search for properties belonging to a segment and easily update their property configurations. Users can configure the segments and their types when creating properties in Agilysys Platform.
