  Best performedPractices withand caution.Considerations

• Plan your sales windows in advance: Plan your sales windows well in advance of each rental period (e.g., before the start of a new semester). Create the windows ahead of time and leave them inactive; only activate them only when you are completely ready for public sales to begin.
• Exercise extreme caution when deactivating: Deactivating a sales window that has active locker rentals will immediately cause all users to lose their lockers within that window. While the lockers can technically be restored by reactivating the window, this action heavily disrupts user data and should be performed with extreme caution.

Deactivating a populated sales window instantly removes locker assignments. Always verify the window is completely empty or truly expired before disabling its active status.
