Creating Student Consents

1. To create your student consents and consent categories go to Administration > Standard Values  and look to the Student Values box. Scroll down and click on Consent Categories.

2. This will show you a list of any consent categories on your system. To create a new one, click Add Value. Give the category a name in the Value box, then click Save. 

3. This new Category will now appear within the list. Next, press Close.

4. This will take you back to the Standard Values page (Administration > Standard Values as per step one). From here, select Consents from within the Student Values box. 

5. Similarly to adding a category, this will bring up a list of all existing consents and their assigned category, if they are assigned one; These can be edited via the Pencil Icon next to each.  To create a new consent, click New Consent.

6. Assign the consent to a category using the Category dropdown box, give it name using the Consent Type box, and give a description if needed within the Description box. Once this is all filled in, click Save.

Just like when creating a new category, this will now show within the list.

7. Repeat the above steps until all the needed consents and / or categories have been added to the system. 

To add the consents to a student, head to a student profile; Student > Find Student > *Student Name* > View Student.

As seen in the highlighted area of the screenshot below, it is possible for consents to appear on the student summary for quick access. This will also be covered shortly.

8. From the students profile page, click Consents. This will show any consents that have already been uploaded for this student. To add a new consent, click Add New Consent. 

9. This will create a new row at the bottom of the existing consents. Fill in the consent details using the boxes provided (Making sure to use the side scroll bar to go all the way across; Highlighted in screenshot below). Click Save Student when complete.

10. As mentioned in step 7, to make the consents appear on the Student Summary, check the Show on Summary checkbox, towards the far right of the consents selections. As seen below, this is done individually for each consent.
