Opening the Residence Builder Screen

You open the Residence Builder screen as follows: 

  1. In your Core account, select Settings from the left navigation sidebar. The Settings panel appears to the right. 
     
  2. From the Settings panel, select People Settings > Residence Builder. The Residence Builder screen appears. 
     
    • If your facility has already been built out with units (building, areas, rooms, etc.), then the screen below appears displaying a user-friendly hierarchal structure with expandable/collapsible sections of the units.

  5. A campus is created for each building. Your next step is to name each campus. For an undefined campus name, click its ellipsis and select Edit Campus (first screenshot below). The Edit Campus modal appears (second screenshot below).

Adding a Residence Area

To add a residence area, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the Residence Builder screen.

  4. In the Area Name field, enter the name of the residence area. 
     
  5. If meals are to be delivered to the room, then you will need to enable the residence area for room delivery by selecting the Enable Room Delivery check box and completing the available fields that appear. However, at this point because you are just building out your residence for the first time, you can choose to revisit room delivery configuration later when you are ready. When ready, see the following article: Enabling Room Delivery for a Residence Area.
  6. If there is more than one area, then click the Add New Area link, which adds a new Area Name field for you to enter the area name. Repeat this step for all areas that need to be added.

  4. Enter the new name, and then click the Save button. 

Deleting a Campus, Building or Area

  2. Expand the sections as needed.
     
  3. For a campus, building or area you want to delete, click its ellipsis and select Delete [Name] (first screenshot below). Assuming the unit does not have any resident/patient profiles assigned, then a confirmation message appears (second screenshot below).

FAQs

Is there a way to move a residence area from its current building to another building?

No. It is not possible to move a residence area to another building. You must recreate the residence area in its desired building, and then remove the original residence area.
