# Kiosk - Questionnaire & Consent
This page covers how patient information is collected and verified **before clinical work begins**. Intake can be completed by the patient (in-clinic kiosk or via notifications remotely), or assisted by staff.
**Configuration**
1. Questionnaire form:\
[Settings -> Glossary -> Questionnaire](https://app.dentaltap.com/en/p/settings/templates/dictionary?id=questionnaire)
2. Consent forms:\
[Settings -> Documents](https://app.dentaltap.com/en/p/settings/clinic/documents)
3. Clinic Portal/Kiosk:\
[Settings -> Portal](https://app.dentaltap.com/en/p/settings/clinic/portal)
4. Notifications: \
[Settings -> Notifications](https://app.dentaltap.com/en/p/settings/clinic/notifications)
### Purpose
* Collect up-to-date medical and dental history
* Sign & collect required consent forms
* Identify risks, allergies, and alerts early and transfer them into medical history automatically
* Reduce chair-time by completing forms before treatment
### **In-Clinic Kiosk / Self Check‑In**
This is a preferred method to complete questionnaires and consent forms, so patients access via a separate portal and do not see any private data stored inside the Dentaltap.
* Patient completes forms on a tablet or phone
* Suitable for waiting room or pre-visit completion
You can open a kiosk form from the patient profile:
* Click on the **···** (3-dots) icon next to "Edit" icon.
* Select **Open Kiosk** option.
* Configure kiosk form in the opened window - to include questionnaire, and, optionally, consent forms.
### **Patient Notifications**
You can include the questionnaire and the consent form into patient notification, for example, in those scenarios:
* Creating new patient file
* Creating an appointment
You can view & edit notification templates here:\
[Settings -> Notifications](https://app.dentaltap.com/en/p/settings/clinic/notifications)
To include a kiosk form in your notification, please search for `patientKioskOpen` variable:
### **In-Clinic Assisted Questionnaires**
Both questionnaires and consent forms can be also completed via the Doctors/Clinics account inside the main application.
To create, view, sign and manage questionnaires, use the **Questionnaires** tab:
* Staff completes forms together with the patient
* Recommended for elderly patients or complex cases
**Signature Pad/Signature Window**
For most of the records in patient file - consent forms, questionnaires, prescriptions, invoices - there's a signature pad available within the main application.
You may use it with any signature pad devices to sign easily.
### **In-Clinic Consent Forms**
Simiar to questionnaires, you can generate and sign consent forms via the main application.
To create, view, print and sign consent forms use the **Documents** tab:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://dentaltap.gitbook.io/dentaltap/scheduling/patient-questionnaire-consent.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
