What is REDCap Mobile App

App Concept

The REDCap mobile app is an app that can be installed on a tablet or mobile device so that data may then be collected in an offline fashion on that device, after which it may then be synced back to this project on the REDCap server.

The app is most useful when data collection will be performed where there is no internet service or where there is unreliable internet service

User privilege "Allow user to download data for all records to the app?

  • It specifies whether or not the user is allowed to download records from the server to the app.
  • Unchecking this privilege prevents users from unwittingly (or wittingly) downloading lots of sensitive data to their mobile device.
  • If a user is given this privilege, then when they initialize the project in the app and the project contains at least one record, then the app will prompt the user to choose if they wish to download all the records to the app or not.
