Description

Automatically create, rename, and assign record to a DAG(Data Access Group) based on data entered in a specified field.

The primary use case is for multi-site survey projects, using a public survey link, i.e. participants initiate record creation, to automate assigning records to their appropriate DAG.

Feature Type

External module (EM)

Fees

Minimum of $500 initiation fee, to cover the cost of help with set up and training. 

Eligible Projects/Project Status Dependency

  • Project Status at Request = Development
    • Request to enable Auto DAG while building and testing the project.
    • Because of the complexity of configuring and validating the tool, setting up the Auto DAG EM in a project in production is not supported.
  • Support Track = Standard Service for Research

Request Process

  • Eligible Requestor: Project point person
  • Point Person Submits Request
    • Initiate request via Project > Lefthand Nav Menu > External Modules link > View available modules button > Auto DAGs > Request Activation button
    • Follow up with an email to the REDCap Team at redcap@ohsu.edu to describe the use case for the external module.
  • REDCap Team Processes Request
    • Gather details via email and/or web ex meeting
    • Send estimate to point person and PI

REDCap Skills

  • Form building.
  • Familiar with Data Access Groups.

Installation, Configuration and Implementation

  • Installation
    • Study Team provides billing information.
    • REDCap Team approves requests and activates module.
  • User Rights
    • REDCap Admin assigns user permission to the module to the point person.
  • Configuration
    • REDCap Team trains project builder how to configure the module for their project.
    • Review if user rights should be granted to a back-up point person.
  • Implementation Notes
    • The value of the data entered in the specified field becomes the name of the DAG.
    • If the matching DAG already exists, then the record will be assigned to the existing DAG.

Support Track Availability

This is advanced or optional functionality that can only be enabled or installed by a REDCap admin and requires special instruction & support. Charges apply.
