# Auto-Enroll Residents in Programs on Intake-Facility/Residential

This feature will allow you to enroll residents in specific programs upon intake automatically.

For example, if all of your residents need to be a part of your behavior management system (BMS), you will no longer need to add them to the program manually.

### Setting up Auto-Enroll

Administrators can assign a program for auto-enrollment in a Facility Placement Program by:

Opening the "Administration" tab and choosing "Picklist Admin."

Search and choose "Facility Placement Program."

Choose to either "Create a New Facility Placement Program" or "edit" one of your current programs.

When adding or editing a Facility Placement Program, select from the list of programs you want to be auto-enrolled (Default Programs) and save the Facility Placement Program.

The next time a resident goes through the intake process, the programs will be added to their program list automatically.

**NOTE:** Existing residents will not have the new default program(s) added to their program. Only new residents will have them added.
