From REDCap FAQ


In a longitudinal study where the first form is a demographic data collection form is there any way to force the first form to be completed before proceeding to subsequent forms?
You can use branching logic to hide the fields on the later forms and add a section header that explains why no fields are present in each form when the branching logic calls for the form to be 'blank'. The forms that follow the demographic form will still be accessible but fields will be viewable only if a particular field on the demographic form is completed or marked 'Yes'.

What is the Record Status Dashboard?
This is a table listing all existing records/responses and their status for every data collection instrument (and for a longitudinal project, for every event). When viewing this page, form-level privileges are utilized (i.e. cannot see a form's status if the user does not have access to that form), and if the user belongs to a Data Access Group, they will only be able to view the records that belong to their group. Note: Since projects may now have many surveys, REDCap no longer displays the Survey Response Summary on the Project Home page.

...

To enter or view individual records, you can navigate to the "Data Collection" section on the left menu bar. Select "Add/Edit Responses" to navigate to the drop down record lists so you can select or add a new record/response. Alternatively, you can select Record Status Dashboard to view all records and responses. In the Record Status Dashboard, you may select any record or response and begin entering data.

You can also use the "Data Exports, Reports, and Stats" module under "Applications" to view your data. Create New Reports to search and view your project data in aggregate.

  • When you click "View Report", it queries the database in real-time and displays the resulting data in table format. Variables are listed in columns and individual records are displayed in rows.
  • Clicking the "Stats & Charts" option within Data Exports, Reports, and Stats module, displays graphical representations for all numerical and categorical variables and provides links for cleaning notable data (missing, highest, lowest values).

Is there a way to delete data in a given record for just a single instrument or event (not the entire record)?
Yes! First, follow the instructions in the section above about deleting an individual record to ensure you have the correct permissions on your user account. Then, open any record or survey response. You can delete data for a single record at the bottom of the form/survey. In order to To delete data for an event, select the 'X' icon at the bottom of the event column on the Record Home Page.
