Setting up consent management

These instructions explain how to set up consent management for the first time. The steps must be implemented in the following order as each step is dependent on the previous step:  

  1. Configure consent management for the user or user group. 
    Note: Only Editors can configure consent management. This includes creating consent form templates. For more information about user types, see How the Fotoware user types work.
  2. Enable consent management.
  3. Create at least one consent category.
  4. Create at least one consent template.
  5. Define the archive settings.

Administrative permission

Turn on the Configure consent management administrative permission for at least one group.

To do so, see Assigning administrative privileges to a group.

When this is done, the Consent Management option appears when you open Site Configuration.

Consent category

To be able to use consent form templates, you need to first define at least 1 category of consent. For more information, see Consent categories. 

Consent template

Create a consent template. For more information, see Creating a consent form template. 

You need at least 1 consent template to see Manage Consent Forms in the Tools drop-down list (the first time you do this, you might need to log out and in again to see the Manage Consent Forms option.)

Only users that have access to the template created can:
