Create a Consent Form

1. The user can create a consent form by accessing the “Consents” through Clinical Documentations from two entry points.
   1. From the EMR Admin, click on “Consents” under “Clinical Documentations.’’
      
   2. From the Left Navigation, open the “EMR Admin” dropdown, select “Clinical Documentations,” and then choose “Consents” from the subsequent dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can type “Consents” into the search bar in the Left Navigation.
2. To create a consent form, click the ‘’New Consent’’ button in the top right corner of the screen.
3. The Form Type will be automatically set to Consent. Select the Default Template from the dropdown menu.
   Note: Our portal provides default consent form templates. You can select one from these options for quick editing, or you can create your own custom template by following the instructions in this user guide.
4. Enter the Title and Description for your consent form, then check the “Active” box.
   Note: If this box is unchecked, the consent form will remain inactive in the portal and cannot be attached to any procedure or service.
5. Choose who will be filling out this form from the Filled By dropdown menu.
   
6. Select how often the form is required from the Required dropdown menu.
   
7. In the Form Builder section, click “Add Field” to start adding consent fields.
   Note: You can add as many fields to your consent form as needed.
8. Select the Field Type from the pop-up menu to create your form as required.
   1. Select Text Field as Field Type.
      
   2. If you select the Text Field option, the Field Type and Field Name will be auto-filled. Enter the Label and choose a Variable from the dropdown to appear in the Placeholder. Check “Required Field” for mandatory fields, enter the Grid Row, and click “Save Field.”
      Note: A “Variable” is a unique name that stores the data entered in a field, allowing the system to use it in forms, reports, and templates. A “Placeholder” is text that appears inside a form field to give the user a hint or example of what to enter. “Grid Row” refers to the position of a field in a form layout. It determines which row the field appears on when the form is displayed. Field types such as Text Area, Number, Email, Phone, and Date are added in the same way as a Text Field.
   3. For a Dropdown field, enter the Label and Placeholder, then add the options. When finished, click “Save Field.”
      Note: A dropdown field allows the patient to select one option from a predefined list. When the patient clicks the field, the list of options appears, and they can choose the most appropriate response. The “Radio Buttons” field type is added the same way as a dropdown. Radio buttons display all options on the screen at once. They take more space but allow quicker selection when there are only a few choices.
   4. For Checkbox and Signature field types, simply enter the Label and Grid Row, then click “Save Field.”
   5. For a Checkbox Group field, enter the Label, add the options, specify the Number of Columns, and click “Save Field.”
      Note: A single checkbox is used when the patient needs to confirm or agree to something while a checkbox group allows the patient to select multiple options from a list. In a checkbox group field, the “Number of Columns” refers to how the options are arranged visually on the form.
   6. For a Table/Grid field, the Table Data Name, Field Type, and Field Name are pre-filled. Enter the Label and Table Label, add and fill columns (choose type from the dropdown), set row permissions, enter Initial Rows and Initial Data (JSON Array), specify the Grid Row, and click “Save Field.”
      Note: A “Table/Grid” is a structured layout used to organize multiple fields or data in rows and columns within a form. Initial Data (JSON Array) is a field used to pre-fill a table or grid with existing data in a structured format. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a standard way to represent data as text. A JSON Array is a list of items, where each item can have multiple properties (like columns in a table). By entering initial data in this format, the grid/table will automatically display these rows and columns when the form loads.
   7. For the HTML Content field, enter the text or HTML code you want to display in the form. Click “Save Field” to save.
      Note: HTML Content is a field type that allows you to add formatted text, images, links, or other HTML elements directly into a form. It is used to display custom content such as instructions, headings, or media without collecting user input.
   8. For the Image Upload field, the Label, Field Type, and Field Name are auto-filled. Enter the Maximum Files and File Size, select Accepted File Types, add Help Text, specify the Grid Row, and click “Save Field.”
      
   9. For a Spacing/Divider field, enter the Label and Height, select a Style from the dropdown, specify the Grid Row, and click “Save Field.”
      Note: A “Spacing/Divider” is a non-input field used to organize and separate sections within a form.
9. Once all fields are saved, click “Preview” to view the consent form. To modify a specific field, use the “Edit” or “Delete” buttons on the right side of that field.
10. Once you've finished adding all the consent fields, click “Create Consent” to save it.
