This screen is used to create/edit/view the Practice Locations, ie the branches of the practice. See Concepts|Practice and Locations for background.

The fields are as follows:

Mail Host - the host name of your ISP's SMTP server

Mail Connection Security - set to None, SSL/TLS, or STARTTLS as required by your ISP. The standard setup is:   

Default Printer - use the pull-down to select the default printer for this location.
Pricing Group - the pricing group in use for the practice location. This is optional. It is used by practices that set different prices for the same product at different locations. See Concepts|Pricing for details.
Disable Discounts - if selected, disables discount entry when editing charges and estimates at this location.
Stock Locations - sets the Stock Location for the location. If you have Stock Control enabled for this location then you must have one. Multiple locations can share the one stock location. See also Organisation|Stock Location.
OTC - sets the OTC account for the location. You can only have one but multiple locations can share the one OTC account. See also Organisation|OTC.

The Contacts tab is used to view and maintain the various contacts. The types are as follows:
Location - you should set this so that it can appear on reports and documents
Phone - again you should set this so that it can appear on reports and documents
Email - you need to set this, not only so that it can appear on reports and documents, but also because it is used by the system when generating the From address on emails being sent out. Although the code that sends out Reminders and Statements via email uses the Practice's email addresses, emails initiated by users are sent out using the current location's email address.  If there are multiple email addresses set, then the user can choose the required one from a pull-down list.

See Concepts|Contacts for details.
