- End - end dtae
- Week days - you can select only specified week days
- Room types - you can select only specified room types (for example open sales only for DBL room)
- Minimum: define the minimum duration requested for the specified period so that a stay can benefit of rate.
- Maximum: define the maximum duration of the stay allowed in the specified period so that the rate is applicable.

- Closed upon arrival \ Closed upon departure: the activation of one or both parameters enables limiting the arrival and the departure of clients to specific days of the week
(For example, if the structure allows arrival and departure only from Saturday to Saturday, you must insert 2 strategies, both extended to the desired period, with the following characteristics:
1. in the first strategy, enable the check-in next to Closure upon arrival and Closure upon departure and remove the one on relating to Saturday box. This means that the rate does not allow arrivals and departures during the remaining days of the week.
2. In the second strategy, remove the flags from all week days except for Saturday and leave the Closure upon arrival and Closure upon departure boxes disabled; this will enable the arrivals and departures only on that specific day).

- Advance start \ Advance end: this is the period within which a booking should be made so that the rate can be applied to the stay; rate can, therefore, be booked only if at the moment of booking the above mentioned period is observed.

Days: define the number of advance days required to make the booking.
