User Guidance & Best Practices

• Ensure the “Title” is descriptive (e.g., “Engine diagnostics”), not a VIN or ID string
• Use recurrence only when applicable, such as oil changes, inspections, etc.
• Clarify purpose or conditions in the Comment section when needed (e.g., “only if mileage exceeds 200k km”)
