Creating Consent Lines
After creating a consent type record, business admins can create consent line records for a communication channel if there are specific products or content types about which a customer wants to send information.
Products for capturing consent include all products available to end users in the product catalog. Capturing consent for specific products allows a customer to send any communications to HCPs about those products.
Content refers to the information included in communication disbursed to an HCP. This information does not need to be tied to a specific product. Business admins can define information by content type. This provides end users much more flexibility when capturing consent because it does not rely on the product catalog. Product catalogs are usually managed externally and can be difficult to modify.
Examples of content types include the following, but customers can define any category as a content type according to business needs:
- Medical
- Clinical
- Promotional
Sub channels are configured through consent lines for a consent type record and have short durations and predefined expiration dates. Customers can use sub channels to capture consent for recurring or temporary channels, products, or content types, for example, marketing campaigns. This allows business admins to avoid defining new products or content types for temporary use.
Consent Capture for Approved Email does not support sub channels on consent line records. Consent Capture for CLM does not support consent lines.
