With the Change Housing Locations screen, you can move one or more offenders at a time, from one housing location to another.
With a retrieval function, the Change Housing Locations screen retrieves all offender records from a particular housing location, so you can move multiple offenders at one time. When you need to move multiple offenders with each offender from a different housing location, you must enter the offender records one at a time.
The Change Housing Locations screen consists of the Detail and Movement blocks. The way that you fill out the Detail block determines: which offenders are retrieved and will automatically display in the Movement block (if any); where they are coming from; where they are going; the reason for the move; and whether the move is confirmed. Once these records display in the Movement block, you can modify them.
The Change Housing Locations screen has a maximum depth of four housing levels (e.g. blocks, pods, cells, beds). If you are moving offenders from a particular housing area, you must move them to a location with enough vacancies for all of the offenders. For example, you can't move ten offenders from a pod, to a cell with one bed.
TIP! For every situation, think of the fastest way to process multiple offender records. For example, you have fifty offenders in Pod 6 that need to be moved, and all of them are moving to the same location except for two offenders. The fastest way to process the fifty offenders is to select Pod 6 in the Details block, check the Confirm All Move checkbox, and retrieve all of the Pod 6 occupants from the TAG database. Once TAG has listed all fifty offenders in the Movement block, you can "uncheck" the Confirm (Move) box beside the two offenders if they are not moving, select another location to move them to, or delete their records.
