For example, most EHRs capture gender as a multiple-choice field so you would want to capture gender as a multiple choice item in your form. This REDCap External Module provides action tags for controlling PDF output. Contact. By going into the Survey Settings page of your instrument you can use HTML to add images to your survey using the. Want to present different users with different options for a question, but still use a single variable for analysis? This external module allows you to add tooltips to your Data Entry Forms and Surveys! Action tags will allow you to do that and more. Figure 5 shows we have seven instances of Labs for the Record. Please sign up for the drop-in session [link] to get this or other external modules activated. We typically suggest removing all unvalidated text/notes fields from exports used in statistical packages because those data types are usually not useful for analysis and can clog the statistical package processing (including throwing off the column dividers). In Figure 13, you will see that the survey addresses Sophia SMITH in the survey instructions. When the DAG tool is in use, groups of users can see records created by users within their group, but blinded to the entire set of records. At times, these multiple projects can have data elements that overlap. Make a back-up before you start -- download a copy of the current Data Dictionary and a copy of your current data, just in case anything goes wrong. The field will stay hidden regardless of the branching logic rules. If your instrument has a File Upload field or a Descriptive Field with an attachment, this action tag will automatically count the number of downloads from either of these two fields. They can also be triggered based off responses to previous surveys as well! Create a Descriptive Text field in your instrument and then create the variable name. Users are allowed to edit the Record ID field to a limited extent, unlike other fields which are more customizable. So close everything that you don't need, and then follow the REDCap export page's instructions to open the file(s). The module is designed to migrate any or every data field in the source project that matches a data field in the destination project by both name and type. First, make multiple question fields with the same label but different responses. The record_idfield links together all the records in your study. REDCap has the ability to repeat a data collection instrument or an entire event of instruments an unlimited number of times without having to specify the amount needed. This guide describes how to create a customized data report in REDCap. Please sign up for the drop-in session [link] to get this or other external modules activated. Action Tag Spotlight @CHARLIMIT: If you need to restrict the number of character a user can enter into a Text Box or Notes Field the @CHARLIMIT Action Tag can help accomplish this task. There are several field types in REDCap including text boxes, radio buttons and drop down lists (select only one answer), Record Labelling To turn off auto increment you need to click Disable in the Enable optional modules and customisations on the Project Setup page. Reminder: raw data will give you variable names such as "why_pcom" instead of "Why did you choose to attend PCOM? This is the field the REDCap database uses to link the data for a particular record together -- all databases require a unique ID to distinguish between entries in a database. Where is the Record ID field? You can find more information about creating and editing fields in the section of this guide 'Online Designer: Instruments and Fields'. If you need to redirect your participants to submit their survey responses to different DAGs, use the Public Survey Dag URLs External module. Example: Suppose you have an instrument Demographics and you want to find out how long it took for your users to complete this survey when looking at the records in the Record Status Dashboard. The variable name for REDCap's optional Participant Identifier is [redcap_survey_identifier], and it does not capture imported data when using the data import tool, nor can the data inputted be pulled into a form/survey field. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the NIH. Don't drag and drop a new instrument into the first position, because this can move the record_id field and delete all your data (see below for more info). 7. But once you start entering data, changing the variable name of the record_id field will delete all of the data in your project, because youve essentially deleted the key that allows REDCap to understand where the data belongs. Did you know that annotation tags correspond to action that is performed for the field when it is displayed on the forms or data entry fields and not visible anywhere on the page? @HIDDEN -- Hides the question/field on the survey page, the data entry form, and in the REDCap mobile app. The units portion can be set to one of the following: y representing years, M for months, d for days, h for hours, m for minutes and s for seconds. The Library has no access to or familiaritywith any statistical packages. We recommend that the record ID field not be used as an identifier. Surveys are versions of forms that permit data collection via email, web links, or even paper. 1. When building instruments, consider choosing a standard high number such as 99 as the code for Other, or 77 as the code for Not applicable. This allows you to add other answer choices in as needed and leave the Other option at the end of the list. The technical storage or access is required to create user profiles to send advertising, or to track the user on a website or across several websites for similar marketing purposes. Double-check the dataset to see if that is interfering with the reading of the file. However, another type of entity exists called 'Smart Variables' that allow you to reference information other than data fields. This prevents any accidental code overwriting even if the researcher changes the question. If in this example the fictional Record #34 was part of the chemistry_dept DAG the [record-dag-name] smart variable would return chemistry_dept for the value! The data type for each field determines the appearance of the field. REDCap views records as shown in Record ID 3 and 9 (see Figure 9). Always keep a copy of your most recent data dictionary, and save the project and the data before making significant changes! Do you want to applyformatting in your REDCap projects and survey forms? Download a smaller export. Data Access Group ID before the record id, if desired, to . This guide describes how to export your projects data from REDCap into Excel or a statistical package, such as SPSS or SAS. Each of these records is distinct, with its own forms that store data. If more than one choice needs to be hidden, then provide all the coded values separated by commas. For example, to hide the choice 'Chips', which is coded as '1', enter this Action Tag: @HIDECHOICE='1', To hide both 'Chips' and 'Beans,' which is coded as '6', enter this Action Tag: @HIDECHOICE='1,6'. Did you know you can easily compare and contrast information between two records in REDCap in real time? Both can be set up to capture both time and date. Are you using longitudinal data collections and would like to add a question to the instrument to be answered in a subsequent event instead of the first one? Any form could become a survey, although some forms make more sense than others do, for example, a survey could be used to collect demographics for participants, whereas a study management survey is less practical. Email us [email protected]. [aggregate-mean: fields: parameters]: The mean/average of a field across all records in a project. When building forms where you are using the same set of choices for different multiple choice fields, click on the copy existing choices link (above the Choice dialogue box in the Add New Field pop-up). All later instruments are considered a continuation of the earlier one(s). Consenting to these technologies will allow us to process data such as browsing behavior or unique IDs on this site. 6. [record-dag-label] Harvard Site . For our registry, we want to add a form that records diabetes management methods. This external module provides a tool for you to check for duplicate data across two or more projects. Concerned about bots filling out your public surveys? You can track who has responded to your survey by using the Participant List option, and you can identify individual responses by using the Participant Identifier feature. Remember REDCap automatically assigns a unique record identifier when you create a new record. Additionally, REDCap offers a mobile application accessible via a smartphone or tablet that permits offline data collection for scenarios where reliable internet service is not available. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the NIH. This guide describes what a Matrix of Fields is and how to create one in REDCap. @HIDDEN annotation, when added to the field annotation table, hides the field to survey participants, but can be seen on the data export. Without a subpoena, voluntary compliance on the part of your Internet Service Provider, or additional records from a third party, information stored or retrieved for this purpose alone cannot usually be used to identify you. REDCap can create this Record ID for you or you can create it manually. Using this feature you can supplement your survey with video to enhance the experience for your participants. REDCap allows you can format and de-identify data for analysis in other systems. Additionally, LDEW can be configured to automatically lock forms upon completion for certain user roles. REDCap supports of variety of data validation and quality assurance features (see Data Collection Tool Design for guidance on using such features). Surveys can be enabled at any time in development mode. You can use these options to hide calculated fields in surveys while still using the value for piping or branching logic. Additional changes are made to the Add / Edit Records, Record Status Dashboard and Record Home pages. It is best practice to utilize as it aides with reporting and record keeping. Action Tag Spotlight @MAXCHECKED: The field type Checkboxes (Multiple Answers) is a very commonly used field type in REDCap projects for obtaining multiple answers to a single question. You can add new records to your project by putting a new value in the Record_ID field (or however you have named it). A public link is only possible when the first instrument is a survey. This external module adds the following new action tags: Example: A REDCap project has a DAG of department names at Tufts University. That copied version would be in development mode and have no records/data. This is why we strongly recommend you put your project into Production before collecting data in Production mode, any project changes that could result in data loss require administrative approval. Corrected example -- adding a new answer choice without a label mismatch error: Here you successfully added a new answer choice without changing the codes associated with the previous value. Therefore, once those options are selected, other options appear, as illustrated in Figure 11. Use conditional logic in your database by using an if/then statement in calculated fields. @HIDECHOICE -- Hides one or more choices of a multiple choice field. This QR Code is clickable as well! Close all open files and applications. This is known as a label mismatch error. The record_id field links together all the records in your study. [aggregate-min: fields: parameters]: The minimum value of a field across all records in a project. There are no specific requirements to run REDCap on any of these devices and no known compatibility issues. Would you like to give your surveys modern look and feel? We recommend that you run all these rules - except A (which just finds missing values). Run all these rules before exporting data. REDCap will ask you to "Commit Changes" once you upload the new Data Dictionary -- the new Data Dictionary will completely overwrite your existing instruments, so you want to be sure you've uploaded the right file. For more details about how to use this module in your project check, The REDCap 9.5.5 upgrade brought many new features, including, For an in-depth look at more features of the 9.5.5 upgrade, check out the, As part of the REDCap 9.5.5 Upgrade in February 2020, Tufts CTSI has enabled the, For more details about the Mobile App, what its for, and how to use it, please, Do you want to personalize your project for the study team as well as for the participants? Please keep in mind: Wondering how to split up your project into instruments (i.e., forms or surveys)? The Online Designer resembles the interface in Qualtrics or Survey Monkey: The Data Dictionary is a more advanced method which allows you to view/edit all of your project instruments in a single csv file. For each function we will show how the function could be used to support our sample registry. It displays a special 3. You can build surveys that use repetitive choices faster by using the copy existing choices option. They are special terms that begin with the @ sign that can be placed inside a fields Field Annotation box when adding or editing a field. You might see errors if you have the data file open in another format while trying to open in the statistical software. For example, the first three records IDs created for DAG ID 98 will get automatically named 98 . The technical storage or access that is used exclusively for statistical purposes. The Record ID belongs to the participant, so all forms for a participant will have the same Record ID. You can use piping to allow subject-specific options in a multiple choice or dropdown field. records in your project). Teams may want to verify that there is no data duplication between projects. Communication is a key component to any successful registry whether between the registry team and the participants or internal communication among the registry team. The first step would be to create each field (if needed). If enabled, the system will create the Record ID when a record is created, if disabled the user will need to enter a value when creating a record. 2019-2023. For example, you can make a field automatically capture todays date and make that same field read-only so that your survey participants cant change that value. Once this module is enabled for your project you can use this feature anywhere in your project! It is also possible that the variable names themselves are incompatible with your statistical package. Are you nervous about trying out certain features in your project after it was put in production? export_survey_fields. Complete Denotes that all data entry for this form is complete and verified. External Module Spotlight Date Validation Action Tags:Many projects have fields such as Date of Birth or Date of Previous Visit in which you may want to setup a strict minimum and or maximum value range to ensure users cannot input dates in the past or future. This can be used to collect information on a periodic basis for example, you can send out an Alert to participants on a daily basis that includes the [survey-queue-url] smart variable, which will take them to the survey queue to fill it out. Covers how to create a new project, how to add or edit data fields, field types available and branching logic and piping. After enabling surveys, go to the Online Designer. Always back up your project (both the data dictionary and the data itself) and discuss the consequences of a new feature before implementing it. This REDCap external module forces a linear data entry workflow across REDCap forms and events by removing access to any form which does not immediately follow the last completed form.
