Best Practices & Considerations

  • Meaningful Categories: Create common lot types that genuinely help categorize and distinguish your parking lots (e.g., "Student Resident Lots," "Staff Permit Lots," "Hourly Pay Lots").
  • Impact of Changes: Be aware that editing an existing common lot type will immediately update all lots currently assigned to that type.
  • Deletion Prerequisites: Always ensure that no active lots are assigned to a common lot type before attempting to delete it. Reassigning lots to another type or to no type will be necessary.
  • Consistency: Maintain consistent naming conventions for your common lot types to ensure clarity and ease of use for administrators.
