A service isn’t bookable anywhere until it’s linked to at least one property, and it won’t have anyone obvious to assign it to until it’s linked to at least one provider.

Preferred providers (step 4 of the builder)

Pick which providers should be offered first when a request for this service comes in.
This is a preference list, not an exclusive one. When you assign an incoming request, preferred providers appear at the top of the list — but any other provider linked to the request’s property can still be found and picked if needed. See Assigning a request.

Properties (step 5 of the builder)

Pick which properties can offer this service. A service assigned to no properties never appears in any guest catalog. You don’t have to reopen the whole wizard. From the Services list, each row shows a provider count and a property count — click either to see who’s linked, with an Edit shortcut that jumps straight to that step. You can also go the other direction: from the Properties page, each property card shows a services count — click it to assign or remove services for that specific property without touching the service’s own settings.
Linked providers and properties

How this connects to assigning requests

A provider only shows up as assignable on a request if they’re linked to both the request’s service and its property — see Assigning providers for the full rule. Preferred providers just get top billing in that list; they still need the underlying property + service links to be selectable at all.
