redcapAPI (version 1.1)

redcapProjectInfo: Export a Project's Supplemental Information

Description

The meta data, users, arms, events, mappings, and REDCap version can be used to do some validation during data exports and imports. In order to reduce calls to the API, these tables can be stored in an object and referenced as needed.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'redcapDbConnection':
redcapProjectInfo(rcon, date=TRUE, label=TRUE,
                              meta_data=TRUE, users=TRUE, instruments=TRUE,
                              events=TRUE, arms=TRUE, mappings=TRUE,
                              version=TRUE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'redcapApiConnection':
redcapProjectInfo(rcon, date=TRUE, label=TRUE,
                              meta_data=TRUE, users=TRUE, instruments=TRUE, 
                              events=TRUE, arms=TRUE, mappings=TRUE,
                              version=TRUE, ...,
                              v.number="")

Arguments

Details

The project information is stored in the option redcap_project_info. If the project is not longitudinal, the events, arms, and event-form mappings elements will be assigned character vectors instead of data frames.
