CONSENT FORMS
The default editor for consent forms is OpenOffice. If you do have Microsoft Office installed, however, this can be used as the editor if you prefer. Please ring our Support Department for more information.
Consent forms are generally saved in the following location - C:\Users\A1\Assisi Documents\One Drive\ ConsentForms. In that location, your existing consent forms will be displayed, together with a Sample Consent Forms folder.
TO CREATE NEW CONSENT FORMS
-
There will be a consent form template, with standard tokens already included, in your Sample Consent Forms folder – you can open this and click File>Save as, rename the document appropriately and save it in the same location under its new name.
-
You can then update the new form with the relevant standard text.
-
If you wish to add additional tokens, there is also a document called Consent Form Tokens in the same location. This document displays all of the tokens that are available to use in consent forms and you can open this document, copy the required token, click in your new consent form where you want the token to be inserted and paste it in.
TO PRINT A CONSENT FORM
-
Select the animal and click the Consent tile to the right of the History display.
-
Select the form that you wish to print.
-
The consent form will open and be automatically saved as it opens. You can edit the details and save your changes prior to printing.
-
The fact that a consent form has been printed will be written to the animal’s history. You can double click on the link in the history to view the consent form at any time.
TO VIEW A PRINTED CONSENT FORM
- Select the animal and double click on the relevant entry in the history.
- This can be edited for a limited number of days only – ie if you open a consent form that is over a week old, this will be opened as a read-only document.
