Problem defining the key variable for a relational database
by EpiData development and support 24 May '17

24 May '17

Hi there, I have a relational database with three key variables (district_id; health facility_id; patient_id). It is relational as there are three forms: Patient Demographics, Patient Progress, Laboratory. For the Progress form, for some reason, when try to enter the variables in the key (Right click form>Define key), I cannot add anything more than the patient_ID. The other options are greyed out. For all other forms, entering multiple variables in the key is no problem. I'd appreciate some advice on what (obvious) option I am missing. Thank you! Ruwan

Dear Sir, I am trying to retrieve value of variables based on other variables. Example: a dataset with 3 observations: # region_code ill 1 21 4 2 30 10 3 40 6 i have tried the following: sort region_code gen i s =_n @ill[1] but i am getting the result of the last observation and not the first. I will be thankful if you advise on how to retrieve the value of a variable based on record indexing.

EpiData Manager, Append Records
by EpiData development and support 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Hello, This is in reference to using EpiData Manager and trying to append records using the Tools > Append option, for a Project that has 2 dataforms. When the Append Project window appears, the fields available are only from the 1st dataform. After successfully appending, the dataset for the 1st form is complete, and the 2nd form appears to have the correct number of records, but when viewing the data, or exporting, all rows for the appended records are null. This is the same case with a Project with a parent and child forms. The data is complete for the Parent form, but the Child form has rows with null values for all appended records. EpiData Manager: (2017/03/14 - 10:05:27) Program Version: 4.0.2.101 r1409 Core version: 4.0.0.0 r1373 FPC Version: 3.0.0 Platform: x86_64-Win64 XML Version: 4 Dataforms Count: 2 Please let me know if you need additional information.

Suggestions for Epidata Manager
by EpiData development and support 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Dear Sir, I have been using Epidata Manager, EntryClient for past one year. I like it's simple and user friendly features. With my recent use I have few suggestions: 1. In variable properties>Calculate, please provide option to calculate using any mathematical operation sign (+, -,÷,×) between atleast four variables. 2. For jump rules, if it should be allowed to set the values of the questions jumped as per the value of jump. For eg. If there are variables A, B, C and D. If Code 1 is selected in A then jump to D and put the code 2 in B and C. If Code 2 in a selected in A then jump to C and put the code 1 in B. 3. In date variables an option of automatic date and time capture which is once captured and doesn't not change if the same form opened next time. This will help if we have multiple sections for data entry in single form which will be entered at different time intervals. 4. In browse data, it will be helpful if we can select and see any particular data entry in columns. Warm regards, Peeyush peeyush1902(a)gmail.com

Updates to .qes and .rec files without changing .chk
by EpiData development and support 07 Feb '17

07 Feb '17

Good morning, I have a quick, and hopefully simply question. I am trying to revise some of the wording in a single question on the .qes file of a database that has been in use for several years. The labels would NOT change and I don't need any of the coding in the .chk file to change. I understand that I will have to revise the .rec file in order to make this change visible to the users when they go to fill out the data form. However, anytime I try to make the simple wording change in the .qes file, then select "revise data file" in the tools menu, I receive a message saying that ALL the coding in my .chk file will be lost and I would have to re-enter all of it. I don't want to make any changes to the .chk file, only the wording in a single question on my data form! Is there a way to revise the wording of one of my questions without the need to re-do all the coding in my .chk file? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Lesley McLeod, MSc, CIC Infection Control Coordinator (North) Cell: 306-290-8746 Street Address: 3472 Elder Grove Regina, SK S4V 2V3 lesley.mcleod(a)pophealthnorthsask.ca<mailto:lesley.mcleod@pophealthnorthsask.ca> www.pophealthnorthsask.ca<http://www.pophealthnorthsask.ca/> Mamawetan Churchill River Health Region, Keewatin Yatthé Health Region & Athabasca Health Authority Confidentiality Notice: This email, including attachments, may contain confidential information.

epidata v4.0
by EpiData development and support 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

Hello, Thanks very much for this great job! I downloaded the last test version and I noticed several problems - manager: the section name is never saved (when changed, the name is reset to section1 2,... on reload of the project). It is the same thing in version 2.x - entry: I experienced a non-reproducible crash during data entry after playing with the "Browse all data" window - entry : I noticed the problem already encountered about expansion of the first column of the "browse all data" - manager: there is an overlap of radio buttons in the "Entry Mode" panel of the "Extended" tab of the "field properties" window. - manager: overlap of radio buttons ine the "Update Mode" panel of the "Basic" panle of the "field properties" window for auto date and auto time fields - manager: the "field properties" window has been enlarged and I cannot reduce it. A request for the data entry manager about jumps: would it be possible to reset the value to of fields to a numeric or text value. I'd like to be able to do so in the following case for example: "Does the patient have a surgical history? YES/NO" If "yes" there is a serie of yes/no questions about specific surgeries. If the response of the main question is NO I would like to be able to reset the list of following questions to NO. It was possible to do it with epidata 3. For your information, I'm currently using the 64bit version under windows 7 pro. Best regards --------------- Jean-marie Chrétien. CHU Angers - DRCI Message court envoyé depuis un mobile.
