Clients often have to be moved between places within a providers facility. This may be required when the current place is no longer suitable or available for the client, or there is a more suitable place available for him/her.
CPM provides functionality for client transfers within a provider facility. This requires updating client placement information. For example, Lake County Detention Services is registered to provide client detention services to the organization. Detention services are provided in four buildings in a campus which are set up as compartments with cells within each building added as places. One evening, there is an accidental fire which damages Building 2. There are 15 inmates in Building 2 who are moved to Building 1. The provider informs the organization about the transfer of clients. The resource manager updates the placements by transferring all the clients from Building 2 (compartment) to Building 1 (compartment).
