What is the “Display Label” in Fee Type settings?

Introduction

The Display Label in the Fee Type setting is a grouping mechanism that consolidates multiple fees under a single label. This label appears on fee receipts, making them concise and organized. Fees with the same label are displayed as a single row in the fee receipt, regardless of how many fee types are grouped under it.

Use of Fee Labels in Receipts

• Purpose: Display Labels consolidate multiple fees into a single row in the fee receipt for ease of understanding and a clean layout.
• Example: If multiple fees such as “Lab Fee,” “Library Fee,” and “Activity Fee” share the same display label (e.g., “Other Fees”), they will appear as a single line item labeled “Extra Fees” in the fee receipt.
