19. Now that your form is published, you can distinguish consented contacts by going to your Master List, searching for a contact, and viewing member details.

If Consent = 1, it means the contact consented.
If Consent = 0 or is empty, contact has not consented.
All old contacts will not have a value in this field until they update it.
