Best Practices and Considerations
-
Communicate print limits for temporary parking: Ensure users are aware that temporary permits can only be printed once. If a user loses their printed temporary permit or experiences a printer error during their single attempt, they will need to contact the parking office so an administrator can manually regenerate the file from the backend.
-
Test permit templates regularly: Administrators should routinely verify that PDF permit templates are correctly formatted. Whenever adjustments are made to standard permit layouts, test the changes using a test user account to ensure the resulting PDF downloads cleanly without broken formatting.
