Best Practices & Considerations
- Granular Control: Use lot zones to apply different rules, prices, or restrictions to sub-sections within a single large parking lot.
- Clear Naming: Use descriptive names for your lot zones that clearly indicate their purpose or location (e.g., "North End Hourly," "Permit Holder Zone A").
- Data Integrity: Always ensure that a lot zone is not actively referenced by any other part of the system (like lot configurations or specific spaces) before attempting to delete it.
- Mapping Integration: If your system includes mapping features, ensure your defined lot zones can be visually represented for clarity for both administrators and users.
