# Request Digital Consent

Staff use the **Request Digital Consent** option to obtain digital signatures easily within the application. This streamlines the process, making it faster and more convenient than collecting signatures on a physical copy.

To create and map a consent form for the clinic, see [**Consent Form Builder**](/uniteemr/master-modules/consent-form/consent-form-builder/create-consent-form.md) and [**Consent Form Mapping**](/uniteemr/master-modules/consent-form/consent-form-mapping.md).
