Survey Flow

Survey Flow

Survey flow is dependent on your data collection approach and desired dataset structure, which will dictate your project design. Below are graphics showing basic examples of how a survey flow might be implemented using the defined purpose of each module as provided in REDCap. The link to the defined purpose is included in the caption below each image.

Note: the auto-continue option is bound by defined events. This can be seen as a limitation while also providing the benefit of structure within your survey flow. If defined events are being used along with the Survey Queue, unintended results may occur (e.g. a past survey that was missed is presented to the participant in the future, resulting in inaccurate data).
