# Setup Consent Forms
To create a new consent form, go to [Settings -> Documents](https://app.dentaltap.com/en/p/settings/clinic/documents).
There are two ways to set up a consent form:
* Use one of the available templates
* Create a new document and write your own text
You can also start with a template and then edit the text and variables to fit your needs.
### Document Variables
You can add **variables** to your document content. When the document is created from a patient profile, these variables are automatically replaced with real data, such as:
* **System** — current date, current time, and other system values
* **Patient** — patient details like full name, phone number, date of birth, and more
* **User** — details of the user who created the document, such as full name and contact information
* **Clinic** — clinic profile data including name, phone, email, website, and other contact details
Use the **Variables** button at the right to open variables list:
### **Generate Consent Form**
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:
