Property Field Differences

Our Channel Management feature is extremely powerful and can greatly simplify your channel advertising. Learn how it works by reading our Channel Management Overview article.  The most powerful part of our Channel Management is the API Integrations we have with certain channel partners.

However, each API-Integrated channel has different sets of fields they support with lots of overlap between them. Even if they support the same field, there are differences in what the field means or how you are limited in using it.

One of the most common areas of confusion is with the property descriptions. Every API-Integrated channel has different descriptions (e.g., headline, summary, short description) that they show and different limits on the size. Some require them to be used, others don't require them, and still others might ignore them entirely.

This table shows the description fields in OwnerRez alongside the channels' version of the same field and what each supports. Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the table to view all channel columns.

bold = field is required
Min = minimum length of text required, if the field is used
Max = maximum length of text allowed
