 ====== 10.12. Patient type and Ward setup ======
+Patient types and Wards are two fields that are enterable on a prescription. But before they will appear on a prescription for display, you must set them up. Have no fear, the instructions are here :-)
 ===== Patient types =====
-Info coming soon
+Patient types are actually transaction categories. To set them up, choose //Special > Transaction categories...// from the menus or click on the Transaction categories icon on the Patient, Customer or Special tab of the Navigator:
+{{ :dispensing:screenshot_2021-08-18_at_13.01.48.png?600 |}}
+On the Transaction categories window that opens, click on the **Transaction type** drop down list and select //Prescriptions (2)//:
+{{ :dispensing:screenshot_2021-08-18_at_13.03.08.png?400 |}}
+Click on the **New** button to add one or double-click one already in the list to edit it. This window opens (populated with the current details of the category if you're editing one, empty if you're creating a new one):
+{{ :dispensing:screenshot_2021-08-18_at_13.07.47.png?400 |}}
+  * **Master category**: You can ignore this, it isn't used for patient types.
+  * **Category code**: Enter a short code for each patient type. If you are wanting to enter wards for patients then you need to add an //Inpatient// category with a code of **IP** and a //Discharge// category with code **DI**.
+  * **Description**: The name of the category as it will be seen throughout mSupply (if you are using wards then two of these will be //Inpatient// and //Discharge//).
+Click on the **OK** button to save your changes.
 ===== Wards =====
-Info coming soon
+If you want to select the patient's ward on a prescription you must first turn on the //Allow users to select ward on prescriptions// preference. See the [[preferences:general#dispensary_mode_tab|16.01. General preferences]] page for details on that.
+In mSupply, wards are names that have been assigned a tag of //Ward//:
+  * For details on creating names, see the [[names:adding_and_editing|]] page
+  * For details creating and editing name tags, see the [[names:name_tags|]] page.
+  * For details on assigning the //Ward// tag you created to the ward names see the Tags tab section of the [[names:adding_and_editing#tags_tab|5.01. Names: using, adding and editing]] page.
