If you are working with a group, select Multi Consumers so you can view multiple people in the same display. This article explains how to enter records for a consumer group. If you are working 1 on 1 with a consumer, see Entering Service Records for a Single Consumer, which simplifies your data entry as you can focus on one person.
Use Multi Consumers entry when you are providing service to more than one consumer in the same service session.
