That will take you to this page:

Here you can:
- Add a new Discharge Reason.
- Sort the reasons from A-Z or Z-A by clicking the 3 lines next to the header ‘Reason’.

A couple of notes about Discharge Reasons

- You need to add permissions for your User Groups to be able to view edit and delete Discharge Reasons. You can do this on your User Groups page.
