REDCap Field Notes Display

Provides alternative display modes for field notes. This module adds an action tag @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY that takes one of three parameters, hover, tooltip, or popover to determine how the field note should be displayed.

Prerequisites

• REDCap Modules

Installation

• Clone this repo into to <redcap-root>/modules/field_notes_display_v<version_number>.
• Go to Control Center > Manage External Modules and enable Field Notes Display.
• For each project you want to use this module, go to the project home page, click on Manage External Modules link, and then enable Field Notes Display for that project.

How to use

Once the module is activated on a project, the @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY will be available in the action tag help text of the Online Designer. Add @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY to any field where you would like to display the field note using one of the three display modes. Specify the display mode you would like to use as a parameter to the action tag. Valid display modes are hover, tooltip, and popover. Provide the content of the field note as usual.

Example:

Add the following syntax in the Action Tags field, then the field_note is hidden from the view and it is shown on hover over the field name.

@FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY="hover"

And similarly, if it is required to show the field_note only on the tooltip or popover, use @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY="tooltip" or @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY="popover" respectively.
