What SmartAcademy does in the background

The backend stores the category under your organization and records create, update, or delete actions. Transport and daycare can also auto-create categories when linked billing is used.

Tips

• Create clear category names because they appear in fee structures and receipts.
• Do not delete categories already used in active fee structures unless you are sure.
