Child records
by EpiData development and support 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Dear all, I have experienced the same thing in the past. But I must admit that it's really brilliant what epiData has done. In the dataform property of child form, there are two options to choose for having records. No limit (If we want limitless numbers of child records, this is the option) fixed limit (which EpiData has set its value to 1 by default) Because of option 2, more than one child records can't be created. And option 1 or 2 with big numbers will be the solution to creating more than one child records.

Need help for designing form on Epidata manager.
by EpiData development and support 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Dear Sir/Madam, I am trying to design a form using Epidata Manager v2.0.8.56. I need urgent help on the following: 1. How to link multiple forms under one project through unique key? I will have four forms needed to be linked through unique ID. These forms will be filled by different data entry persons. 2. How can I put questions in two lines containing two different fonts? It is needed to give translation of question in local language. Thanking in advance. Warm regards, Peeyush peeyush1902(a)gmail.com

Afterwards merge the files with the correct relation in Epidata analysis or In Stata use dataform1 merge 1:1 key variables using dataform2 Continue with other dataforms. Maybe sometimes you need to summarize within a key before merge. use visits gen N = 1 collapse (sum) N (min) hb , by(id) save sumvisit And then merge to other data on id. Since we cannot know in Epidata how you wish to analyze the related dataforms we will not develop this in manager, but do remember that as well collapse and merge can be made with epidata analysis.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the next experimental release of EpiData Manager and EpiData EntryClient. The main new aspects are: 1. Controlled user login (Extended Access): With Extended Access users can have different roles in a project, some may change the structure of data and others only enter data or reset passwords for other users. This extends the security of the project from encryption of data to encryption of the whole project. For entry of data rights to edit and read data is defined at the dataform level. A full explanation of how you work with user controlled login is available from the testing download page: http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php. Anexample project is included with the installation package, this includes an extension of the "Clinical Example Project" with defined groups. A readme.txt contains user name and password. 2. Customised Statusbar: In addition to a modernised design the content of the Statusbar can now be adapted with various elements. The Dataform Information panel can display a text or contents of the currently active dataform. For those familiar with the old EpiData Entry 3.1 this is much like the "type statusbar" command of the .chk file. Please notice that as usual: DO NOT use the experimental version for routine work and do not use on your real projects. Work on copies of data. Changes to data structure and definitions will change until the features are included in public release versions. Please test the following: 1. Addition of users to the example project to defined groups. 2. Addition of groups and rights for a project you start from scratch. 3. The new statusbar Next phase of development will focus on these aspects: a. recording of what the user did after logging into a project (transaction log) b. reporting of defined groups and users in a given project. You find the experimental versions here: http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php Regards, Torsten B. Christiansen & Jens M.

Updated versions Manager 2.0.8.56 & EntryClient 2.0.6.20
by EpiData development and support 07 Nov '15

07 Nov '15

Dear all users New versions were placed yesterday for general download on http://www.epidata.dk/download.php Many bugs have been fixed during recent releases and we therefore encourage all to get the new versions and replace older ones. The new versions will work with all epx project files. But it is always good practice to have a backup copy if some unexpected problem shows up. The two updated versions fixes several details of related file systems and export. Related file principles are now sufficiently developed for routine use, including handling of "mark for deletion", "count by id", "compare duplicate", export etc. See the complete list of changes here: Http://epidata.dk/epidatamanager.changelog.txt Http://epidata.dk/epidataentryclient.changelog.txt Conversion from flat file systems to related structure is rather simple, provided you define the keys correctly. A step by step recipe for this will be published here later and added to the wiki system at http://epidata.info/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=start Regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association, Denmark

Export into Excel
by EpiData development and support 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Dear all, I was using the old version of EpiData. I am not a statistician. Now I wanted to use the EpiData at my new workplace, had to install the new version and am struggling with the export into Excel. The export is possible but then I get a table in Excel where everything is together, in one column. Is it a bug, will it be fixed or am I doing something wrong? I tried to read everything but I am not coming further. Please help. Thank you. Lukas
