REDCap Version NEW FEATURES: Simultaneous user detection/prevention on data entry forms when on same record/event/form as another user (but allows simultaneous viewing for super users) Mobile device data entry Data entry forms formatted especially for mobile devices (works best on Android, iPhone, iPod) All features of data entry forms are function, with the exception of Locking/E-signature feature, which is partially functional (can only be [un]locked/e-signed from Full Site view) Better usability on Apple iPad (scrolling only worked previously if used two-finger slide, now works with single-finger slide) New “Check for Identifiers” module Provides suggestions for fields that might need to be tagged as Identifiers Keywords are customizable per site (via the Control Center->System Config page) Update to REDCap Plot Service (RPS) – requires that you download the new version of RPS (see wiki page), which was updated recently. New expanded stats report as PDF export Descriptive Stats now shows Q1 and Q3 API New metadata export New data export option (“rawOrLabel”) to export raw data or labels (or both) for the options of multiple choice fields

REDCap Version NEW FEATURES: New optional security feature that temporarily disables a user’s account if user has X failed login attempts within a Y-minute period, in which the X and Y values are configurable in Control Center->System Config. Abstracted the default pre-filled metadata for new projects created so that it may be easily tweaked to create a site’s own default metadata for new projects. To do this, edit the file 'prefill_metadata.php', which must be done for each version of REDCap.
