ClinDATC 2.3.0 – Cohort Engine Overhaul and New Features

2.3.0 [2016-09-15]

Added

New status ‘Incomplete‘ to denote that a questionnaire was attempted but not completed
Cohort filter with checkboxes in ‘Search Participant’ page
Developers can Delete visits in DevTools (in addition to Add and Update)
Developers can include data-hidden during questionnaires creation to skip MySQL column creation. This will also prevent save error on submit e.g. if questionnaire requires a <input> or <select> field in instructions or as an example
First Entry (datetime / who) and Last Entry (datetime / who) to each questionnaire for admins only
Window period (start / end date) under each Visit label to replace ‘To Complete by: date‘
Visit status (visit completion date) under each Visit label when a participant completed the last questionnaire under that visit
Plugin ‘ClinDATC Maintenance Mode‘ to let participants know that your site is down for maintenance

Changed

Url canonicalization by redirecting in order for plugins to target these pages – e.g. clindatc.com/?search instead of clindatc.com/ after login
A questionnaires ‘Open‘ status is now classified into ‘Not Started‘ or ‘Incomplete‘
Update to Group Access page is instantaneous now – no refresh needed e.g. F5
Standardized first option of all <select> drop-down list to e.g. — Select visit —
Removed ‘Progress Report‘ plugin (broken due to new cohort coding)

Fixed

Questionnaire input type=checkbox does not load stored database value due to having hyphen in input name. Resolved by adding `
Pagination cannot load (disabled) page 3 up for a questionnaire (with 3 or more pages) when administrators try to modify the questionnaire
Undefined index: visitorder when administrators try to view all visits for a participant
Validate a questionnaire against visit so that the questionnaire will not load if it does not belong to the active visit
Pagination issue where e.g. 1st browser tab loads a 4-page questionnaire and open a new 2nd tab for a 2-page questionnaire which will load blank
Session values redundancy. Questionnaires will no longer retain previous questionnaire’s input name as session ($_SESSION) data
Participants cannot access unauthorized (e.g. not activated) visits simply by modifying the ?v=?? in URL now
Stripped HTML tags from <title> using strip_tags() for questionnaire name that contains e.g. Bootstrap Glyphicon <span class=”glyphicon…

2.2.1 [2016-08-11]

Added

Images (e.g. affiliated institutes logos) can be added on top (e.g. header) of questionnaires in order to achieve a professional and close to hard-copy look
Cohort as filter in ‘Search Participant’ page
Developers can Delete visits in DevTools (in addition to Add and Update)
Developers can include data-hidden during questionnaires creation to skip MySQL column creation. This will also prevent save error on submit e.g. if questionnaire requires a <input> or <select> field in instructions or as an example

Changed

Deploy Submit buttons in questionnaires with custom text or image using the ‘label’ attribute
‘Register Bulk Participants’ page (CSV upload) returns more descriptive error message by displaying row # and column name
Specify which ClinDATC pages to add a plugin’s external files e.g. cascading style sheet (CSS) in order not to include them in the <head> section of every page
Underscore ‘_‘ is now a valid character to include in Participant ID during registration and Username when adding new ClinDATC users

Fixed

Changing user access level does not reflect changes instantly (e.g. navigation menu availability) until user re-logs
When trying to modify a 5 pages questionnaire, click on (e.g. mid page 3) and exit. This will render page ‘4’ and ‘5’ on the questionnaire pagination to be disabled when admin returns to modify this questionnaire again
Changing questionnaires listing order from Random to Sequential (ordered) will wipe out the ‘previously randomized’ arrangement order from database
Modifying a questionnaire ‘Xyz’ having same <input> name as another questionnaire ‘Abc’ within the same visit will preload the saved answers wrongly
