====== Setting the informed consent using a survey ======

===== Creating the survey =====

Create a question with the code name 'informedconsent'. You can choose many types of questions types. The answers to the questions are translated to a consent using this algorithm that checks the answer against the consents stored in Setup => Codes => Consents.

  * If the answer is the same as a consent "Description", that consent is used.
  * If the answer is the same as the start of a consent "Description", that consent is used. This is in case you have e.g. only 5 characters to enter the answer.
  * If the answer is a "value" the the first consent by "Order" with the "Consent code" "consent given" will be used. **Warning:** examples of valid values are:
    * "Y"
    * "N"
    * "Unknown"
    * "X"
    * 1
    * -1
  * If the answer is not a "value" the the first consent by "Order" with the "Consent code" "do not use" will be used. Not-values are:
    * An empty string
    * 0

===== Using the survey =====

  * Activate the survey in LimeSurvey
  * Synchronise the LimeSurvey source in GemsTracker (Track Builder => Survey Sources -> Synchronize surveys)
  * Activate the survey in GemsTracker (Track Builder => Surveys => Edit)
  * Check "Active in..." and select a group (usually Respondents)
  * Select the "After completion" event "Use the 'informedconsent' answer to set the informed consent. (Gems)".
  * Save the survey.

If you then use and answer the survey the informed consent will be set tot the 'informedconsent' field as long as it is not empty.
