Copy the consent instrument, and rename it with the version number appended and suffix _v2 added to variables.   In the survey settings, make sure to edit the e-consent Framework fields to the new v2 variables. In the Optional fields, you can enter the type (i.e. Adult, Assent, Parental Permission Form). Make sure to save your changes.  Make sure to inactivate old Automated Survey Invitations (ASIs), modify Alerts, or modify the Survey Queue depending on your distribution method.     It may be beneficial to add form display logic for your new consent instruments. In this example, if v1 is being used up to 12/10/2022, I will update the logic for both instruments to follow that.  Finally, inactivate Inactivate the old version (s) of the consent survey by turning the status to “Survey Offline” in the survey settings.  Submit your changes for review. Once the changes have been approved, don’t forget to add user rights to your new instrument(s). For further instructions see the Add, Edit, Remove Users From Your Own Project knowledge article. |
