10.7.0

New feature: Field Bank - When adding new fields via the Online Designer, users will see an "Import from Field Bank" button, which will allow them to search different standardized catalogs of commonly used fields, such as in the U.S. National Library of Medicine catalog. The Field Bank helps users add new fields quickly and easily to their data collection instruments. Over time, more standardized catalogs of fields will be added to the Field Bank.
New feature: @INLINE action tag - Allows a PDF file or image file (JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIF, BMP) that is uploaded to a File Upload field to be displayed in an inline manner on the survey page or data entry form so that the PDF/image can be viewed by the user or survey participant without having to download it.
- The PDF/image will be displayed inline on the page immediately above the download link for the field and will be displayed with 100% width by default (i.e., 100% width of the area in which it is contained).
- Images will be displayed with their native width:height ratio, although PDFs will be displayed with a 300 pixel height by default. If you wish to manually set the width and/or height of the image/PDF, you may put the width/height values inside parentheses after the action tag in the following manner: @INLINE(width) or @INLINE(width,height). The width/height can be a percentage value (e.g., 50%) or a number representing size in pixels (e.g., 400). Thus @INLINE(50%) will display an image at 50% size for the area in which it is contained on the page, and @INLINE(400,100) would display the image always at 400px tall and 100px wide. To make an inline PDF appear taller on the page, you might use @INLINE(100%,600) since 300px is the default height for inline PDFs.
- The @INLINE action tag also works if the File Upload field is embedded inside another field on the page.
- Thanks to Andy Martin for his inspiration for this feature, in which it is based on his “Image Viewer” external module. NOTE: Upgrading to REDCap 10.7.0 will *not* automatically disable the “Image Viewer” module if it is installed and enabled on any projects, nor will it conflict with the “Image Viewer” external module.
New feature: New “:inline” piping option for File Upload fields
- If piping using the ':inline' option for a File Upload field, such as [my_field:inline], in which the uploaded file is a PDF file or image file (JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIF, BMP), the file will be displayed in an inline manner so that it is viewable on the page.
- The ':inline' option DOES work inside emails, so you can pipe a field with ':inline' inside the email body, thus allowing you to display inline images inside survey invitations or Alerts & Notifications.
- The @INLINE action tag does not need to be used on a field in order to utilize the “:inline” piping option.
- Note: Inline images are not able to be displayed inside a downloaded PDF of a survey/instrument that contains data.
