The facility placement application allows you to quickly intake a client into detention and maintain proper documentation throughout a client’s stay.
Given that you have the proper permissions to intake a client, you must first select a client through either the Search application under the Case Manager application or by using the Search Clients search bar in the top right of the screen.
Once a client has been selected, navigate to Case Manager -> Detention -> Facility placements. Placements can also be started from the Client Summary application.
Note: A client can only be in a single facility placement at a time. If a client is participating in programs or facilities in conjunction with their primary placement, you can add those other placements in either the Physical placements or Program placements applications.
To begin an intake, select the red Start a New Intake button
Fill out the required fields and then press the blue save button.
