Bed Management provides a variety of options when setting up your location's facilities. Consider the needs of the staff who will have access to the Census and Attendance views as well as anticipated reporting needs when deciding the levels to include in your Bed Management Setup.
Every Location is required to establish at least one Building. A Building must have at least one Room before Beds can be added. Intermediate levels such as Wings, Units, and Floors are optional and can be inserted in any order to match the building and needs of your staff for locating and managing Beds.
In the future, you will have the ability to manipulate levels within your Building and to move Beds but not without potential impact to historical reporting. To preserve historical reporting, it is advised to use the 'Inactivate' option on a Level (cascades to subordinate Levels) and then adding the new Level or portion of the Building needed.
