Step 5: Consent Tab

The Consent tab allows you to build a consent page. This is the first page that your participants will view. This page is nothing more than a sequence of paragraphs with a "Begin" button at the bottom. Each yellow field in the spreadsheet corresponds to a paragraph of text on the webpage. Use a separate paragraph to introduce a hard return and a blank line between blocks of text. You may use HTML tags to do additional text formatting or to put links into the text.  The text that is displayed by default offers suggestions to you about what type of information your consent form should include.  The first paragraph will be displayed in a larger title font.

Some things that you might want to address in your consent page:

If you are copying and pasting text from another application, such as another website or from MS Word, do not use the Paste menu or shortcut key (ctrl-v).  Please click on the "Paste Text From Clipboard" button instead. Otherwise, your data may be unreadable.
