Changes & Improvements

• User Rights

  • When clicking on a user’s username in the user table on the User Rights page, in which the user is assigned to a user role, a “Remove from project” button was added inside the “User actions” popup that allows the user to be removed from a project directly without having to un-assign them from the role first.

• Codebook

  • The Codebook page now has checkboxes that can be toggled to remember the state, collapsed vs. show all, of the tables on the page on a per-project basis.

• Online Designer

  • When viewing the fields of an instrument, a yellow star is now displayed to the right of the variable name to show which fields have been marked as identifiers.
  • When moving one or more fields in the Online Designer, a new option will appear in the field selection drop-down to allow the user to move a field to an empty instrument (i.e., an instrument with no defined fields). In previous versions, fields could only be moved to an instrument containing at least one field (not counting the Form Status field).
  • When moving one or more fields in the Online Designer, a new option will appear at the end of the field selection drop-down to allow the user to auto-create an instrument while moving the field(s) to that new instrument. Note: The new instrument will be named "New Instrument" by default, although the user can always rename it after the fact.

• Rich Text Editor

  • The rich text editor used throughout REDCap now has a new drop-down option in the editor's toolbar for setting the "font family" and "font size" of any text in the editor.

• PDF Viewer

  • Whenever REDCap is displaying an inline PDF (e.g., for a Descriptive field, when using the INLINE action tag on a File Upload field, or on the e-Consent certification page), if the current device is iOS or Android or if it lacks a native PDF viewer, then REDCap’s built-in PDF Viewer will be utilized automatically. For all other devices, the device’s native PDF viewer will be used.

• Help & FAQ

  • The Help & FAQ section has been updated with new content.

• Alerts & Notifications

  • When uploading attachment files to an alert , the maximum allowed attachment size has been increased from 10 MB to 20 MB. Please note that sending attachments larger than 10 MB might cause the email to be rejected by certain email providers.
