Release 1.3.1.2 of EpiData Entry and EpiData Manager available for testing
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 06 Apr '13

06 Apr '13

Dear All EpiData Manager: Release date for *1.3.1.2* was: 05.Apr 2013 Release date for *1.3.1.2* was: 05.Apr 2013 From http://epidata.dk/testing.php Before release of 1.3.1.2 we still need to fix some minor issues, such as content of reports and possibly addition of a "bug reporting tool", but apart from that only bugs identified will be fixed before release as production version. The current production version on main download page needs replacement as soon as possible. Since last test release in mid March the following has been fixed: EntryClient: * Question og Headings sometimes disappeared during entry. Manager: * Fixed bug in "Count By ID" (bug was: list index out of bounds) * Added checks to drag/drop (design mover) such that controls cannot be dragged outside of valid area. Including pasting and alignment with fixed distance. - on non-linux this should display a No-drop mouse cursor. (Linux is not working yet.) * Other identified bugs and minor issues fixed, e.g. importing .epx files would crash if many headings existed on main section Please continue to test and report Torsten Christiansen Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

Hi, I'm changing my database from SPSS to EpiData. IIt's a follow-up database, with almost 1050 subjects, and three different time points (baseline, 1fst and 3rd months). In total, I have 703 variables. I wonder if you can help me with which choice should I take to collect and merge this kind of data? Is it better to create only one database (including all time points), or should I have to create three databases - one for each time point? If I create 3 databases, how can I merge it? Ex: case n. 999 - merge baseline data with 1fst month, and with the 3rd month... Can you inform where I can find exemples? Thanks in advance. Carlos

Problems with Epidata entry and Maneger
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Jens, After a long period I could finally make a complete test form in epidata 1.3.1.1. The way I want to work is open data entry, type in some data while in consultation with the patient, after entry copy to clipboard, paste into medical chart, edit medical chart and print the filled form. Like this, it is pretty obvious that somethings in data entry may not be appropriate to be in the madical chart and some things that should be in the medical chart will not be necessarily in the form, for istance the patient initials, and additional medical information respectively. Few things came by. Several times while open data entry and data manager the form Headings, which identify the form, disapeared and appeared again. Currently only part of the headings are being shown during entry and at printed version. I have a three page form, and I would like to have the key fields: for instance patient number and patient initials at the top of each page. However the key field can not be replicated. I had to make diferent field and to clone the questions, but in fact they have to be different variables, is it possible to make the key fields to appear at the top of each page?. During entry, sometimes the pick box does not appear even if the show pick box is ticked at the variable settings, very rarely though. Sometimes the section headings do not appear in the printed version of the form with data . Even after saving the work and closing the file, later when closing the data manager, a warning comes by about leaving and not saving the last modifications. Occasionally, when opening a file data manager comes with a warning about a backup file more recent the the original file itself, even if the original file is older then the bak file. When I copy to clipboard the content of a complete record and later paste at a .txt file the last six fields come in the top and then the correct order of the fields start. I suppose if I send you the file you will be able to test once more and try to reproduce these stuff, what is the most appropriate way to send the file? Regards, Dr. Pedro Emmanuel A.

Re: EpiData Manager V1.3.1.1 Is there a way (that I seem unable to locate) of overwriting all data that might have been entered in EntryClient, equivalent to "Make data file" in EpiData Entry 3.1?

15 Mar '13

Dear all The following changes have been made since last test version, Find the updated versions for further testing at: http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php See former mail with major changes here: http://lists.umanitoba.ca/pipermail/epidata-list/2013q1/002244.html For Manager and EntryClient: * Fixed a number of bugs, e.g. in report "index out of bounds" * fixed a number of visual issues, e.g. on MAC in conflict with top menu bar * fixed or adapted various texts and warnings * Changed default sizes for headings. * Changed layout of statusbar. * Added extra user warning when closing project/program with unsaved project. * changed toolbar to include "recent files" Manager: * Added hint text on Jump values - Notice that now "*" means jump on any other value than what was specified e.g. 5 jump to v5 all other to v8: use 5 first and then * (the hint says ., but it is *) * New report which is the start of a CodeBook. EntryClient: * Added: picklist now reponds to keyboard even when focus is on either list boxes. * Added: Calculations now also checks for missingvalues. If any of field in a calculation is missing then no value is returned. Can be used to set a default value in a calculated field. * Added: Implemented use of MustEnter colour -> added to settings. * Changed behaviour of validation for field, when assigned range and/or valuelabel. If all goes well these versions will replace current public download before middle of April. Before that we need to also update documentation and introduction documents, including all the new features. regards Jens Lauritsen Torsten Christiansen EpiData Association Denmark
