# Configure Equipment Properties (/how-to/equipment/configure-equipment-properties)



Equipment properties let you display key specifications and attributes on your equipment listings. Properties like "Engine: 150HP", "Length: 12ft", or "Color: Red" help customers understand exactly what they are renting. Featured properties are shown prominently in the equipment header and card views.

When to use properties [#when-to-use-properties]

* You want to display technical specifications (horsepower, length, weight).
* You want to highlight differentiating features (color, model year, brand).
* You need customers to distinguish between similar equipment items.

Tips [#tips]

* **Featured properties stand out.** They are marked with a star icon on property cards and are displayed in prominent positions. Use this for the 2-3 specs that matter most to customers (e.g., horsepower and seating capacity for a jet ski).
* **Properties are display-only.** They do not affect scheduling, pricing, or availability. They are purely informational for customers.
* **Properties are sorted alphabetically** by name in the equipment detail view.
* **Keep values concise.** Since property cards have limited space, use short values like "150HP" rather than "150 Horsepower".
