Countries are the first level of every address — for patients, staff, suppliers and your own facilities. The list comes pre-loaded with the world's countries, so you only need this screen to add a missing one or correct a detail. States are added under a country.

Add a country

1. Go to General Masters › Location Masters › Country.

2. Click Add. The country form opens.

3. Fill in the fields:

   Field	What to enter	Required
   Country Code	Filled in automatically when you save.	—
   Country Name	The country's name, for example Mauritius. Up to 50 characters.	Yes
   Country Short Name	A short code in letters only, for example MU. Up to 15 characters.	No
   Country Telephone Code	The international dialling code, for example 230.	No
   Status	Leave on Active.	—

   

4. Click Save. You return to the list.

Change or deactivate a country

1. In the list, click the ⋮ button at the end of the row and choose Edit.
