Idea and preposition

Question

I just need to have a better understanding of when and how to use the following prepositions with their corresponding word:

Idea about 
Idea of
can you use the preposition “about” with the word “understand/understanding”?

Thank you!

"Idea of" can be used when you want to mention an idea.
example: The idea of having Jack as our employee was helpful.

"Idea about" can be used when you want to say an idea is about a subject, but not to mention the idea.
example: Your idea about the new employment was helpful.
