REDCap Tips and Tricks User Tip of the Month: REDCap surveys have a feature called the 'Data History' widget. It allows viewing the previous entries made in any record field, upon clicking the adjacent 'H' bubble. For example, though the current entry may be "eats spicy food 5 times per month," clicking the 'H' bubble / Data history widget reveals that previous entries for the same record were "eats spicy food 3 times per day" and "eats spicy food 5 times per week." |
Data Backup Reminder To learn how you can backup your projects securely, please visit our WE-SPARK REDCap Policies and Procedures page and review our "Backing up your projects" procedure. |
