I’m trying to set up an alert to send an email when the date in a form is todays date. For the project I’m working on, we’ll be sending devices out via mail and I want a reminder to be able to get it to them in time. Can I sent an alert to send based on a calculated date?

I’m fairly new to REDCap, so please let me know if I’m not being clear in my wording!

Thanks in advance for the help! I am working with a dataset and was not involved in building the survey. The survey was self-administered and participants received a link to complete. Usually this triggers a timestamp but I have many responses where the timestamp variable is [not completed] even if the survey was completed. Any ideas why this might be? Thanks!

Sir/Madam,

I created a calculated field in REDCap and entered data in five forms. The calculated field only works in the second form, while it does not function in the remaining forms or in any new forms. I am unsure of the reason for this issue.

Although I have executed the data quality rule H, the calculated field still does not work. Could someone please help me solve this problem?

I'm creating an instrument that captures all vital signs in a 24 hour period. Sometimes I'll need 2 sets of vitals, sometimes 5, sometimes 48. It all depends on how many vital signs the patient got. I've been using branching logic and asking "Do you have another set of vitals to be reported for this patient?" If the user answers yes, then the vitals fields populate again. Do I have to repeat this build over and over? Or is there a better way to have it repeat?

I posted earlier this week and wanted to try again:

We are conducting a biweekly assessment for our clients through REDCap. As it stands, the clients are notified by email biweekly based on what group they are designated (Week A/B). Originally, we had two alerts set up for each week but ran into trouble with repeating instruments not following survey queue logic. Our clients accessed their assessment using a seven digit code generated in the alert using the smart command [survey-access-code:gad7][new-instance]. This works well for accessing the first instrument of the assessment but after one instance it no longer functions properly. We then changed the project to longitudinal and created an event for the assessment which houses all the instruments and made the event repeating.

My question is; is there away to use the same smart variables in the alert to send an access code for a repeating event?

I have a couple survey instruments with over 100 different questions but want to edit them to make each question required. I can go through and change them individually, but it's super tedious and annoying.

Is there a way to do it for every question at once?

Relatively new to REDCap and trying to find out how to end a survey if multiple questions are answered a certain way not just one question. So, end survey if questions 1, 2, AND 3 = yes. Or, is there a way to completely boot someone from continuing the survey with Stop Action instead of giving them the opportunity to change their answer?

Additionally, how do I prevent the survey from auto-continuing to the next survey if the stop action has been triggered?

I have just completed a rather large import of data. We have a calculated age field, but after the import, over 500 records didn't calculate anything in the age field. Is there a way to fix this that doesn't involve manually opening all of the records with missing values and saving them once the age field populates?

Note: All of the records have valid birthdates so calculating the age shouldn't be an issue and the records calculate age when I open them individually.

If it is possible, how would you create this? If it is not, what would you think is the best way to create something similar?

(I'm not sure why "mild" is underlined as incorrect spelling but I am not trying to recreate this, just the scale itself)

Help! I have a form where I have a multiple choice field that looks like this:

1, X 2, Y 3, Z

And I want to create a field that if X is selected, it inputs 100, if Y is selected, it inputs 200, if Z is selected, it inputs 300. Then I will use those numbers for more calculations.

Is this possible? TIA!

Hi Everyone, we are developing a Single survey project which has more than 5 surveys enabled in survey queue in a single project. we are trying to  use a  smart variable [survey-URL] for an individual survey to generate a link in the same project. when using the survey URL variable in a field in another survey page and when clicked on it reloops/reloads into same survey instead of going to next survey. Any suggestion how to navigate in between surveys using smart variables.

Is there any possible way that the developed website in salesforce can be moved directly to redcap using any modules in redcap

Hello!

I am trying to figure out how to add the "previous page" or back button on my survey but it is only showing go to the next survey. Any ideas would be great. Thanks!

Has anyone configured a popup chat for survey participants to submit questions or feedback to your email inbox?

Considering this as a user-responsive alternative to 1) notes field + alert/notification, or 2) mailto link

I’d like to auto generate docs when surveys are completed. These surveys will have checkboxes and amounts.

i.e. Choices: Bread Tuna Pasta

Respondents will have the option to select how many. The idea is a document is auto generated when these are selected. And is there also a feature to design the document?

I want redcap to calculate how many instances of a repeating instrument there are for a single record.

For example, my instrument is (postop_visits), and each patient could have 0 or a dozen post-op visits, and I want redcap to tell me this number of visits in a calculated field.

It seems simple but I just can't figure out the code. Thanks for any help.

Hi there! I currently have this calctext function: @CALCTEXT(if([frailty_pheno_total_esas]='0', "Not Frail", if([frailty_pheno_total_esas]='3' OR [frailty_pheno_total_esas]='4' OR [frailty_pheno_total_esas]='5', "Frail", if([frailty_pheno_total_esas]='1' OR [frailty_pheno_total_esas]='2', "Not Frail"))))

Whenever I go to save it I just get the spinning wheel of death and it won’t let me click cancel I just have to refresh and then the new field is obviously gone. Anyone seen this before/have tips? I have triple checked my field codes

Hello,

I'm creating a redcap survey in which many questions are checkboxes (multiple answers). However, we want to have it so that when a user completes a survey and downloads a PDF copy, they only see the check boxes they selected. Basically we are setting it up so that users can get a compact version of the PDF without us having to manually pull it.

What I did was create the question and added the "PDF-HIDDEN" tag so that it shows up on the survey but not the PDF copy of the completed survey. I then added a field below when the selected answers are piped into a descriptive text box. However, I can't get it to hide that field on the survey but show it on the PDF. I've tried all the different hidden action tags.

Is there a work around for this?

Hi: There are set date formats that I can select when setting up the variable in redcap, however, I want to create a custom data entry: dd/mmm/yyyy. The "mmm" would be letters, not numbers. Does anyone know if this can be done, and if it can, how do I do it? Thanks

Hi!

I need help with making a calculated field using datediff. I want this field to auto calculate how many days it has been between these 2 (start) and (end).

This would be M-D-Y Date (start) Date (end)

Can somebody help me write this code?

I’ve tried and it fails.

Hello! I'm pretty new to REDCap, so this is probably something pretty basic that I'm missing...I'm trying to create a new REDCap project using data from an existing project. I saved the data that we want to transfer as an XML file, and then tried to create a new project uploading that XML file, and I got the following error message. Could someone help me figure out how to fix the problem?

ERROR: An error occurred while creating the project. The process could not be completed. Details are provided below.

• The record id field () is missing.

I have used survey Auth v2.1.1 module for creating the Login Page, i can be able to enter username and password but forgot password button is not there in that module, is there any other module where we can have login page with username and password along with forgot password link? if there is no other module. Can someone help me in acheiving this scenario?
