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.
