# New User Location

A user location is defined by a geographic unit consisting of one or more users, and may consist of a region (eg Leeds Teaching Hospitals), an individual hospital (eg Leeds General Infirmary), or even a specific department/service within an individual hospital (eg NYCRIS, Leeds). The regional service HMDS department should be defined here.

2. Region Code
3. Active

#### Location Name

Description used to identify location.

#### Region Code

Optional field. A 3-digit parent organisation code (eg RR8, RWA). Only required if users belong to an organisation involved in patient diagnosis or treatment (ie hospital, clinic, etc), and will need to see a list of new or relapsed diagnoses at initial login.

#### Active

Flag for whether the location is currently active. Defaults to 'yes'. Can be switched on and off as required without loss of existing data. This parameter only affects whether the location is available for selection by the user in the relevant web forms.
