3. Complete fields:
   • Name - type in the name of the procedure
   • Document Type - select "Child" from dropdown list
   • Description – put your initials and date of creation as a reference (you can also add the requesting physician's name)
   • Specialty - select the specialty you want the procedure stored under "Category;" select the default (basic and step-by-step consents)
4. Click "Create New" button. The following screen opens:
   
   


5. The various sections of the consent are on the left side of the screen. The first one on the list is Alternatives. Type the text for Alternatives in the white text area. You may add bullets and insert fields as necessary. You may also cut and paste from another document.
6. Continue filling out the text for each section. When you have finished, click File -> Save. This will save your consent and add it to the library.
