Best Practices & Considerations

• Clear Labeling: Use descriptive labels for your deposit types (e.g., "Annual Permit Deposit," "Visitor Pass Deposit") to ensure clarity for both administrators and users.
• Placeholder Text Utility: Utilize the Placeholder Text to provide clear instructions or examples for administrators when entering deposit information.
• Understanding "Flags": The "Flags" setting for Assignable Text can be useful for adding specific, customizable notes to individual deposit records on user profiles, allowing for unique details per transaction.
• Financial Reconciliation: Accurately tracking deposit types is crucial for financial reconciliation and managing refundable amounts.
