We are preparing to upgrade our REDCap Production server on Thursday, February 27th at 8 p.m. There may be a brief one-hour outage at this time, however, we do not anticipate any issues once the upgrade is complete. Please Submit a REDCap Ticket if you do experience any issues within REDCap following the upgrade. 

This upgrade will be to REDCap version 15.0.10 which is a new Long-Term Support (LTS) branch, so it comes with new features (Hurray!). Click here to see descriptions of some of the new features and feature enhancements. If you would like an opportunity to test these new features prior to the upgrade, please Submit a REDCap Ticket with the subject: Test v15 features in REDCapQA.  

New standard operating procedures (SOPs) and webinar recordings featuring step-by-step demonstrations can be found on our WashU REDCap e-Consent documentation pages. These recordings can also be viewed as a playlist on YouTube:

REDCap log-in is managed by WUSTL Key and Password.  REDCap Administrators have no access to reset this password.  WashU IT handles all issues related to WUSTL Keys and Guest WUSTL Keys.  The only issue REDCap admins can help with is if you do not receive a confirmation email to your primary email following your first log in to WashU REDCap.  So, save yourself and us some time by emailing ITHelp@wustl.edu or following the links below for log-in issue:

*Guest WUSTL keys must be renewed at least once a year. If you have a guest account and cannot login, please contact your WashU sponsor first to see if they are able to renew. If it is a password issue, use the password reset link above or contact WashU IT (ithelp@wustl.edu) before reaching out to us. 

**WUSTL Key Changes refers specifically to a modification of a user's WUSTL key, for example, following a name change.

REDCap version 15 has built-in AI tools; however, these will incur additional costs to activate in the system so we will not activate these tools immediately.  The built-in tools also have significant of overlap with our WashU ChatGPT instance.  There is now a direct link to the WashU ChatGPT instance within all REDCap projects (screenshot below).  We will be conducting cost-benefit analyses of the new tools in March to determine if there is enough benefit to activate these tools based on the additional costs we will incur.

Previous REDCap announcements can be found here. If you have questions about information in this email or are unable to access the links above, please Submit a REDCap Ticket.
