Features are items lists which corresponds to :
It's highly recommended to populate these lists before to manage properties.
To manage features, go to Components > Joomla Estate Agency > Manage features in the administrator area.
By default in JEA, there is a relationship between departments, towns and areas. It means that area is a part of a town and town is part of a department.
For some reasons, if you don't need this behaviour, it can be deactivated in JEA options > General > Relationship between departments, towns, areas.
If you have a lot of features, fill them by hand is a bit fastidious. So, you can import them in CSV to save time.
The CSV format used is semi-colon (;) to separate items and double quotes (") to wrap text. Columns are : ID;Value;Order;Language.
CSV example to import amenities :
14;Elevator;14;en-GB
15;Terrace;15;en-GB
16;Cheminey;16;en-GB
17;Balcony;17;en-GB
18;Garden;18;en-GB
19;Dependency;19;en-GB
20;"Equipped Kitchen";20;en-GB
21;Furnished;21;en-GB
