Changes & Improvements

  • New function: dayoftheweek()

    • Determine the day of the week for a given date or datetime. An integer will be returned corresponding to a specific day of the week as follows: 1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, 3=Wednesday, 4=Thursday, 5=Friday, 6=Saturday, 7=Sunday.
      • Example: dayoftheweek( [visit_date] ).
      • NOTE: You may use "today" or "now" as the date parameter in the function, which can prove helpful for triggering an Alert or ASI to be triggered on weekdays but not weekends, for example - e.g., dayoftheweek("today") < 6 (this means that the Alert/ASI will not trigger on Saturday or Sunday).
  • User Rights

    • When removing the Delete Records privilege from a user or role, REDCap now automatically removes all form-level Delete rights and displays a prompt to update individual forms, as necessary
  • Survey Settings

    • Survey Settings can now be exported and/or imported via a CSV file.
      • All Survey Settings will be included in the CSV file, except for survey logo and the email confirmation attachment. 
      • Access this feature via the Survey Settings button in the Online Designer
  • Secondary Unique ID

    • In the Additional Customizations popup on the Project Setup page, a warning has been added to the text for the "Designate a Secondary Unique Field" feature. To encourage best practices, it says the following: "It is recommended that you NOT use the Secondary Unique Field on a survey for an identifier field, such as Medical Record Number, Social Security Number, or email address, because doing so may give a survey participant the ability to test if certain values have already been used for that field in order to determine the identity of a specific person who has taken the survey."
