A REDCap External Module allowing some tweaking of the My Projects page.
REDCAP 8.11.6 up to 10.0.1. REDCap 10.0.2 and newer had the features of this module integrated.
- Clone this repo into
<redcap-root>/modules/redcap_field_help_v<version-number>, or - Obtain this module from the Consortium REDCap Repo via the Control Center.
- Go to Control Center > Technical / Developer Tools > External Modules and enable this module.
- This module does not need to be enabled for any projects.
A few system settings are available. There are no project-specific settings.
- Debug mode: Check to have JavaScript snippets included as separate files. This may be useful for debugging in the browser developer tools.
- Filter persistence: Persists the project filter value (via a cookie). This can be turned on and off by the users.
- Add project PIDs: Adds a new PID column (in between Project Title and Records). For super users, the PIDs are links that lead to the Project's Settings page.
- Link to Codebook: Adds Codebook links to the Fields column for all users.
- Link to Record Status Dashboard: Add links to the Record Status Dashboard in the Records column.
- Suppress description popups: Does just that. This can be finetuned by limitiing the effect to certain users only (whitelist) or to exclude certain users from the benefits of this effect (blacklist).
- Replace description popups: When activated, the popups remain, but only trigger when the mouse hovers over the icons (which are now right-aligend). The popups also don't flicker and when clicked with the mouse, the corresponding project will be loaded. You don't like the colors? --> Submit a pull request that makes this configurable ;)
- Collapse All: Adds a Collapse All button next to the Organize button that collapses all project folders.
- Organize Projects filtering: Add a filter to the Organize Projects modal
A fix for the misaligned column headers in the My Projects table when folders are used is always active.
Instructions for testing the module can be found here.
