+While it can be used to make all patients visible across all dispensary stores across all sync sites, use caution with the store pref //Patients created in other stores not visible in this store//. Doing so does not scale well on large systems if it is turned **OFF** for many stores as it causes exponential data growth and sync traffic:
   * (50 stores) x (100,000 patients) = 5 million visibility records
   * Initialising a site with 3 dispensaries with the pref off will require syncing 100k patients, and 300k visibility records.
-  * It does not include transactional data, which likewise would not scale.
+  * It does not include prescription data. If it did it'd only add to the above.
