# Create a Waiver (/how-to/waivers/create-a-waiver)



Create a waiver whenever you need a new digital agreement for your customers -- liability releases, equipment damage waivers, photo/video consent forms, health declarations, or any other document that requires a signature.

Before you begin [#before-you-begin]

* You need access to the Resytech Dashboard.
* Decide on a descriptive name for your waiver (e.g., "Jet Ski Liability Waiver" or "Photo Release Form").

Steps [#steps]

1. In the sidebar, click **Waivers** to open the waivers list page.
2. Click the **Create Waiver** button. A creation dialog appears.
3. Enter a **Waiver Name**. This name is displayed to customers at the top of the signing page and is used internally to identify the waiver.
4. Click **Create Waiver**.
5. You are redirected to the waiver detail page for your new waiver, where you can open the editor to start building the form.

Field reference [#field-reference]

| Field           | Required | Description                                                                                |
| --------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Waiver Name** | Yes      | A descriptive name for the waiver. Must be unique within your location (case-insensitive). |

What happens next [#what-happens-next]

* The waiver is created with an empty form (`[]`). No fields are configured yet.
* The submission count starts at zero, and the waiver is not favorited by default.
* Open the waiver and click the edit button to launch the [waiver editor](/how-to/waivers/use-the-waiver-editor) and start adding fields.
* The waiver will not be signable by customers until you add at least a **Signer Identity** component and save.

Tips [#tips]

* **Name uniqueness is case-insensitive.** "Liability Waiver" and "liability waiver" are treated as the same name and the second will be rejected.
* **You can rename a waiver later** from the waiver properties modal inside the editor.
* **Plan your waiver content before building.** Sketch out which fields you need (legal name, email, signature, consent checkboxes, etc.) to make the editor workflow faster.
