How to Create Custom Dashboards with this updated REDCap Feature

The record status dashboard has been a popular feature in REDCap. It allows you to get a quick high level overview of the current state of data entry in your records. However, have you ever wished that you could customize this dashboard a bit more?

Well, now you can customize dashboards to filter data and view organizational changes.

Custom dashboard allows you to modify the following things:

  • Header orientation
  • Column grouping
