REDCap Terminology: Arms: group events into 'arms‘; there may be one or more arms/groups per project. Each arm can have as many events as needed. Branching Logic: Branching Logic may be employed when fields/questions need to be hidden for data entry under certain conditions. Calendar: project calendar to help organize the patients’ scheduling and keep track of any upcoming events. Data Collection Instrument: survey page or data entry form Data Dictionary: Excel .csv file, containing the list of fields of a given project and their associated attributes. Events: allow for the utilization of data collection forms multiple times for any given project record (often used when collecting longitudinal data). An 'event' may be a temporal event in the course of a project, such as a participant visit or a task to be performed Field Label: the text that will be visible to researchers and/or participants during data entry. File Repository: repository that stores and retrieves files and documents used for a project. Whenever a data export is performed, the resulting data and syntax files are also stored in the file repository of the project. Project Status: development, production, draft, inactive and archived. Project Type: Traditional Project: Classic model with data entry forms Single Survey Project: utilizes only one data collection instrument Longitudinal Project: multi-use data entry forms with abstract time points Longitudinal Project + Scheduling: multi-use data forms with defined time points Operations: use case for non-study/non-trial Variable Name: the name of the variable that is stored in REDCap (not visible during data entry).
