How to Create a Consent Template in Cloud
This guide explains how to create and configure consent templates within the Admin app, including building the template, testing it with real data, and setting default options.
Creating structured consent templates ensures consistency across documentation, improves efficiency when recording consent, and reduces the risk of missing important information. Using templates also helps standardise processes, making it easier for staff to capture accurate and compliant consent records.
By following this guide, you will learn how to:
- Access consent template settings within the Admin app
- Create and name a new consent template
- Build and customise the template using identifiers and manual input
- Test the template with real service user data
- Set default options and manage template availability
This ensures all consent documentation is consistent, efficient to complete, and aligned with compliance and care planning requirements.
