ConfigWhen creating a new location, make sure to define the location attributes:  
  
• **Skip Ster -** Skip sterility check. If a non-sterile Item can be in this location, this attribute should be turned on. (Ex: it is ok to scan non-sterile items to Decon or perhaps when sending non-sterile instruments from the OR at building 1 to the SPD at building 2). If a non-sterile Item is scanned to a location without this attribute, a red-screen warning will let them know this action is not allowed.  
  
• **Dirty -** An Item will be considered dirty if it is in a location with this attribute (Ex: Decon)  
  
• **Not Avail -** An Item will be considered unavailable for Case Picking if it is in a location with this attribute (Ex: Emergency Case Carts)  

**4)** To print this new location barcode, highlight the row and select **Print Labels** from the **Actions** drop down menu.

**5)** Choose your permanent label printer and click **Print**.
