Changes & Improvements

• Left-hand Navigation Menu

  • The Project Home and Design area of the left-hand navigation menu includes two changes:
    • The Project Setup link has been shortened to just "Setup"
    • Longitudinal projects now include a new link in this area named "Events" that goes to the Define My Events page
    • 

• Designate Instruments for My Events

  • The REDCap Shared Library includes a feature to import multiple PROMIS instruments bundled together in a battery:
    • 
    • The instruments are bundled together, because they are designed to be completed as a group.
    • When assigning the battery of PROMIS instruments to an event, if you select the first instrument in the battery, REDCap will automatically check the boxes to include the rest of the instruments in the battery in the event, as shown in the below gif:

• Form Display Logic

  • Form Display Logic is now available for use within an indefinitely repeating event.
    • For example: if you have two forms on a repeating event, but the second form should only be available for data entry if a variable on the first form has been answered in such a way.
      • Form Display Logic for the second form can be configured using the [current-instance] smart variable: [firstform_variable][current-instance] = '1'
    • Alternatively, if you could reference the previous instance of the repeating event to determine if a form should be available.
      • Form Display Logic for the second form can be configured using the [previous-instance] smart variable: [firstform_variable][previous-instance] = '1'

• Repeating Instances

  • A new window has been added for viewing repeating instances of forms. You can access this new window from either the Record Status Dashboard or a record’s Home Page by clicking on a stack of form status icons:
    • Rather than displaying a single list that could have hundreds of entries, REDCap now shows the first 10 instances of repeating forms, and then allows you to page through all remaining entries in groups of 10.
    • The list can be filtered by Form Status, by clicking the Form Status icon(s) you wish to exclude from the displayed list, or by searching the number of the repeated instance you wish to view.
    • 
  • This pagination and filtering has also been added to the table of repeating instruments in an individual record's homepage.
