Description:

Hides and shows instruments based on the value of a single field on a single form. It's like branching logic for instruments.


Limitations:

Works only on data entry forms, NOT relative to surveys. Please use the Survey Queue function when for survey based logic.

The Mobile app does not evaluate logic within this External Module and is unaffected by any of its settings.


Notes:

Configured from the External Modules section under Applications. Entry is not seen under the External Modules section.

Instrument Name section does not recognize numerals in form names.

Renaming an instrument deletes the instrument from the Instrument Name field within the configuration


Testing:

External Modules are NOT part of the standard REDCap support package. Therefore, REDCap upgrades may impact this functionality; there is potential for a REDCap upgrade to break the module configuration for your project(s). Therefore, we ask that you test your module with every REDCap upgrade and please send an email to help-redcap@bmi.cchmc.org alerting us of any issues you have when testing/utilizing a module.


To request a module for your project, send a request to help-redcap@bmi.cchmc.org.
