General Help and Questions » Where do I view the rates by property?

Yep, it is highly requested. Were you able to get the main rates view filtered by property? That should help, at least. You can also sort that table by season as well, to see the rates in chronologi…

That's a good point. It's a bit complex because there are specific dates and seasonal dates types, but I think we could sort by the date including year and it would work. I've got a hotfix in testin…
