REDCap Help Docs
We strongly recommend entering test data into each of your data forms. Often this is helpful in exposing data issues before moving a project to "production" status. Once the project has been moved to production you will not be able to easily edit the project fields in real time. However, you will be able to move the project to draft mode and make modifications, which will then need to be approved by a REDCap administrator before taking effect. Some data fields may be impossible to change once in production mode.
Steps how to test it:
1. To enter data, select the project you would like to do it on. Next, select "Add / Edit Records" (circled in red below) .
2. Next, the box below will show up, This is used to enter a new participant or select an existing one. After a participant is selected, the form or survey appears.
3. Now, enter data here and save it to verify if it is working correctly. Once the project is moved to production, the fake data will automatically be erased unless it's told differently.
