Random
A REDCap external module providing random numbers, strings, guids that are filled when data entry forms or surveys are saved.
Installation
- Clone this repo into
<redcap-root>/modules/redcap_random_<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 Random.
Requirements
- REDCAP 10.1.0 or newer (tested on REDCap 11.1.3)
Configuration
- TODO - All config may happen in module settings
Action Tag
TODO: This may not even have an action tag.
@RANDOM="config-name"
Use case
- You might want to have a random bit of data generated for each record.
Notes & Limitations
- Codes are not automatically guaranteed to be unique.
- If you want to ensure uniqueness, designate the field with the random content as a Secondary Unique Field. The module will (try to) obey this.
- Generation occurs on save only. No way to have a code already generated on (the first page of) a public survey.
