This is a REDCap external module that provides a shortcut to generate a survey QR code for a new data entry.
This module provides a survey kickstart button to be used when the form needs to be presented to the applicants as a QR code. The button wraps the following steps into one single procedure:
- Save new record's first form
- Handle eventual warnings about required fields
- Click on survey options
- Select Survey Access Code and QR Code
- Get QR code
- REDCap >= 8.0.3
- Clone this repo into
<redcap-root>/modules/qr_code_shortcut_<version_number>. - Go to Control Center > Manage External Modules and enable QR Code Shortcut.
- Go to your project home page, click on Manage External Modules link, and then enable QR Code Shortcut.
This module does not require further configuration - just make sure that surveys are enabled for your project.
Once you add a new record, you might see the Generate Survey QR Code button as follows:
Click on the button to see the survey QR code right away on your screen. Obs.: this operation will save your form.
For existing records, a "Display Survey QR Code" button is displayed, which shows up the QR code (without submitting/saving the form).
