You're able to generate a report which you can Print, Preview or send as an email, to all your contacts that have a specific Consent Status.

These include:

  • Consented - Green thumbs up which means they've consented
  • Consent Unknown -  Grey thumbs down which means they haven't identified their consent preferences 
  • Not Consented - Red thumbs down which means they haven't consented

When you upgrade to 4.7.1.2, all your existing Applicants will have Consent Unknown, until you change their preferences.
