# 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.<br>

### 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:
