# Request Consent

The **Request Consent** feature in Unite allows staff to efficiently manage and track patient consent forms. This feature supports actions such as requesting digital consent, printing consent forms, and editing and printing existing consent forms, helping ensure all necessary consent processes are completed smoothly and accurately.

{% hint style="info" %}
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)**.**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
When a [Consent Form ](/uniteemr/master-modules/consent-form/consent-form-mapping.md)is mapped to a **Procedure**, **Appointment**, or **Visit**, it is sent to the patient’s registered email address for review and signature, and its status can be tracked in [**Shared Forms Status**](/uniteemr/application-modules/shared-forms-status.md) screen.

If this feature is not enabled, use the [**Request Digital Consent**](/uniteemr/application-modules/patient-queue/front-desk-queue/more-actions/request-consent.md), [**Print Consent Form**](/uniteemr/application-modules/patient-queue/front-desk-queue/more-actions/request-consent/print-consent-form.md), or [**Edit and Print Consent Form**](/uniteemr/application-modules/patient-queue/front-desk-queue/more-actions/request-consent/edit-and-print-consent.md).
{% endhint %}

### Steps to Request Consent

* Open the **Scheduler (Home > Front Desk > Scheduler)** screen. Choose the respective patient’s appointment and click the appointment card. This opens the **Appointment Information** pop-up screen.
* From the pop-up menu, select the **Request Consent** hyperlink. This action opens the **Request Consent** pop-up screen.

* The **Request Consent** pop-up will appear, allowing you to manage the consent form.\
  \&#xNAN;***Note:** If configured, the **Stay on Consent Screen** checkbox appears in the pop-up. Select it to remain in the pop-up after saving; otherwise, the system redirects you to the source module.*
