New Features

• Background Data Import
  • The Data Import Tool has a new option to import via a background process, which is intended for use when importing a very large data set.
  • Background data import can be canceled, but any changes the process made prior to being canceled are permanent.
  • Background Data Import is an advanced feature with instructions on how to use it found on the Data Import Tool page in your REDCap project.
  • Use of this feature should be tested in a test project before attempting to use it in your production project. Please email redcap@ohsu.edu if you would like to test this feature.
• New text string functions
  • replace_text (haystack, search, replace)
    
    • Allows you to locate text within a variable and replace it with text you specify.
  • concat_ws (separator, text, text, ...)
    • Works similarly to the existing concat function, but allows you to place a separating word or symbol between each text string being joined together.
• New math functions
  • mod (dividend,divisor)
    • Allows you to return the remainder of a division calculation.
  • exponential (number)
    • Allows you to raise e (Euler's Number) to the power of a number you designate.
