Adding a Suite Type to a Suite 

• Once you have decided to use the Suite Type Display feature and turned it on and configured your lookup, navigate to “Suite Management” to add a suite type to a suite

Settings> Facility> Suite Management> Suite Management 

• You can add a new suite or edit an existing suite and add a suite type to the suite.
• On saving, you can see the following information.
• The ‘Displayed As” column shows how the Suite will display in different parts of the system and reports
• The display depends on the Suite Display Mask set under Suite Options. For example, in the image above the mask is set as “@R @ST” hence the display is “113 1 Bed”. If the user had chosen the mask as “@R @B @ST” then the display would have been “113 D 1 Bed”
• Once set, the mask can be seen in different parts of the system and reports.
