Version 6.14.0 - (released 5/13/2016)

• 
  New feature: Administrator To-Do List
  

• 
  New page in the Control Center that allows all REDCap administrator requests to be processed in a single place. This includes approving production drafted changes, API token requests, create/copy projects (if applicable), and move projects to production (if applicable).
  
• 
  All requests will be listed in a table on this page and will include all associated information about the request, such as time of request, requestor, project, request type, etc.
  
• 
  If desired, email notifications can be disabled on this page if administrators no longer wish to receive the emails associated with these requests, but instead wish to solely use the To-Do List page without any email notifications.
  
• 
  NOTE: This page will always reflect the current status of all requests, whether or not they were processed using the tables below or using the link inside the email to the administrator (if email notifications are enabled).
  

 New action tag: @DEFAULT - Sets a field's initial value.

• 
  This action tag allows a field to have a specified default value when viewing the field on a survey or data entry form that has not yet had any data saved for it (i.e., when the form status icon is gray or when a survey has not been started).
  
• 
  The format must follow the pattern @DEFAULT="????", in which the desired default value should be inside single or double quotes.
  
• 
  For checkbox fields, simply separate multiple checkbox values with commas - e.g., @DEFAULT='1,3,6'. NOTE: The default value does *not* get applied during any data imports (via API or Data Import Tool) but only operates when viewing survey pages and data entry forms.
  
• 
  For text fields, you may even perform Piping inside the default value to pipe data from another field in the project - e.g., @DEFAULT=”Name: [first_name] [last_name], DOB: [dob]”.
  
• 
  NOTE: If being used on a date or datetime field, the date value inside the quotes must be in Y-M-D format - e.g., @DEFAULT='2007-12-25'.
  
• 
  If this action tag is used on a survey question that is utilizing a survey pre-fill method (via query string or POST submit), then the pre-fill values supplied will override the default values provided by the action tag.
  

 New hook: redcap_every_page_before_render - Allows custom actions to be performed by every PHP script in REDCap (including plugins) before the script itself begins to be formally processed.

 Improvement: When in production, users can now request that a project be deleted by an administrator. The request will be added to the To-Do List in the Control Center, and the administrator will be emailed (if email notifications are enabled).

 New method for hooks/plugins: REDCap::getCopyright - Returns the REDCap copyright text to be displayed on all pages - i.e., "REDCap X.X.X - © 20XX Vanderbilt University". This is recommended to be used if a hook is utilized to alter an existing REDCap page so much that the normal page footer that contains the REDCap copyright notice is no longer displayed. Thus you may use this method to display the copyright notice on that page but in a different way or in a different location. This is to conform to the REDCap license agreement that stipulates that the REDCap copyright notice should not be removed from any REDCap pages (this excludes plugins).BUG FIXES & OTHER CHANGES:

• 
  Major bug fix: If using the Randomization module in a project while viewing a data entry form of a record that had already been randomized, it is mistakenly possible to click the "Delete data for this form only" button and delete the form's data even when the randomization field or strata fields exist on the page. There should be no way to modify the value of the randomization field or strata fields once a record has been randomized. In this case, it now displays a message saying that the form's data cannot be deleted for the reasons above.
  
• 
  Major bug fix: If using the Randomization module in a project while viewing a data entry form of a record that had already been randomized, it is mistakenly possible to click the "Delete data for this event only" button and delete the whole event's data even when the randomization field or strata fields exist on that event. There should be no way to modify the value of the randomization field or strata fields once a record has been randomized. In this case, it now displays a message saying that the event's data cannot be deleted for the reasons above.
  
• 
  Major bug fix: If one or more data entry forms have been locked on a given event for a record in a longitudinal project, then it would mistakenly be possible to click the "Delete data for this event only" button at the bottom of the data entry form. There should be no way to delete values for a locked form. In this case, it now displays a message saying that the event's data cannot be deleted until all of the locked forms on the event have been unlocked by someone with locking/unlocking privileges.
  
• 
  Change: Added a compatibility notice for the embedded audio option for attachments for Descriptive fields on surveys and data entry forms. The compatibility notice informs the user that the embedded audio option for attachments is not 100% compatible for all audio file types across all web browsers. This is not a limitation in REDCap, but is simply a compatibility issue across web browsers. The most compatible audio file types to use are MP3 and WAV. Other audio types may work on some browsers but not in others. Unfortunately, there is not always an easy way to know what audio file will work for which browser, especially as operating systems and web browsers evolve over time.
  
• 
  Improvement: When a user opens the Data History popup or the Data Resolution Workflow popup for a given record/field, the popup should now open a bit more quickly than before if it had been slow in the past, especially for projects with many records and/or data changes.
  
• 
  Bug fix: Issue when using Twilio telephony services when using a proxy with the REDCap web server. (Ticket #1190)
  
• 
  Bug fix: When importing data via the Data Import Tool or API data import, the number of records that were created or modified during the import would mistakenly be reported as the number of values that were added/updated rather than the number of records that were created/modified. Bug emerged in 6.13.2. (Ticket #1189)
  
• 
  Bug fix: If a BMP image file was used as an inline image for a Description field on a data collection instrument, then a fatal PHP error would occur if a user attempted to download a PDF of that instrument, thus preventing the user from ever downloading the PDF successfully. It now simply omits the BMP file in the PDF because the third-party PDF software used in REDCap is not able to render BMP files. But at least the user will be able to download the PDF now.
  
• 
  Bug fix: For certain server configurations, the Configuration Check page might mistakenly say that the database structure is incorrect when there is actually nothing wrong, in which it would display a lot of SQL queries to fix the "issue" that would fail if they were run (although they would not harm anything).
  
• 
  Bug fix: If Automated Invitations have been set for a survey, in which it is using conditional logic to trigger the invitations, and if the logic contains the operator "<=", then when the Automated Invitations popup is reloaded at a later time, it would mistakenly insert a space into the operator ("< =") when displaying it in the popup. Although this issue does get caught by REDCap before allowing the user to save it (thus it should not cause problems), it still is rather annoying to have to manually fix every time prior to saving the logic again.
  

 Major bug fix: Some specific web server configurations might throw a fatal PHP error if a user attempted to use the API Metadata Import method or attempted to export/import a CDISC ODM file.

 Change: The Configuration Check page now checks to make sure that the DOM extension in PHP is installed.

 New feature: Responsive design of REDCap web pages

 Now has a more flexible and responsive user interface to conform to and fit screens on devices of all sizes.

 Major improvement for how surveys and data entry forms look on mobile devices (i.e., phones), including automatic font increase and forced left-alignment of questions for better user experience when screen real estate is limited.

 REDCap now has the Bootstrap front-end framework embedded inside it, thus allowing plugin/hook developers to utilize all the Bootstrap UI elements and features.

 Technical note: The “label” CSS class used for field labels in the question table on surveys and data entry forms has been replaced with “labelrc” to prevent conflicts with Bootstrap.

 Improvement: Slider fields on surveys and data entry forms are now much easier to use on mobile/touch devices.
