To select a patient location for a patient during a draft or an active consultation, follow the instructions below:

1. Start a consultation or a draft consultation for a patient or go to the consultation page.
2. Under Consultation details, select a primary location for the patient from the drop-down menu on the Patient Location 1 row. If the location has sub-location(s), a plus icon is shown next to it in the drop-down menu. Select the plus sign to expand and select a sub-location. Note that parent locations cannot be used to assign patients.
3. If necessary, select a temporary location for the patient on the Patient Location 2 row under Consultation details. Temporary locations track short-term whereabouts, such as an exam room for the primary location and radiology for the temporary location.
4. To edit a patient location, select the pen button at the end of the Patient Location row.

Note that the patient is automatically removed from the location once the consultation has finished. When a patient is discharged, their previous location will appear in the consultation records but will no longer be considered occupied by that patient.
