Adding Types in PVA

Before you can use the “Bulk Add Locations” or “Create” a new Location using a standard set of questions, you must add a new Visit Type to the system. The Visit Type is a set of questions that will autofill when using the “Bulk Add Locations” process or when using the “Type List” to “Create” a new Location. Both processes fill in the questions automatically.
