Email Notification The Email Notification tool replaces the Email Notifier data entry trigger. This new plugin can now send an email to a study team member triggered by the saving of a record and sent based on criteria (i.e., field value). It utilizes the same logic as an Automated Survey Invitation or branching logic. Multiple triggers can be set. 11/18/16
Live Filters in Reporting Live Filters allow users to create one report and use that report to identify up to 3 multiple choice fields which will cause the report to be re-run using the multiple choice field value(s) as a filter.
