"aria/Every REDCap project starts in development mode and progresses through the REDCap Project Lifecycle. It is important to understand: New projects start in Development mode Development mode is NOT INTENDED for real data.  In general, if you care about the data in the project, it SHOULD NOT be in Development mode.  It is against RIT policy to host production data in a REDCap project that is in development mode. External modules do not incur any charges while a project is in development mode.  Feel free to experiment and try things out while working out your project details. You can preview what fees, if any, may apply in production through the External Modules tab of the R2P2 Dashboard button (blue button in lower-left corner).  Projects in development mode may contain additional banners (including surveys) to remind users not to enter production data when in development mode. Projects should always be in Production mode while real data is being collected. Moving to production mode requires administrative review.  Please allow 1-2 business days for the review to be completed.  However, if you must start data collection immediately, you can use this link for directions. While in production mode, some external modules incur monthly fees.  See the Redcap Maintenance Agreeement (RMA) information page for more details. All production REDCap projects must be registered and linked in R2P2.  You can link a REDCap project to R2P2 using the R2P2 Dashboard (blue button in lower-left corner) Once data collection is complete, a project should be moved to 'Analysis' mode and/or 'Completed' status. RMA fees are no longer charged once the project is in Analysis/Completed modes REDCap administrators may automatically transition projects to Completed status when they appear to no longer be active. Question required. I understand the REDCap Lifecycle and will move my project to Production Mode before entering 'real' data"

"aria/REDCap supports electronic consents by creating a pdf file from a REDCap survey which can include a signature field, date field and name field.

The REDCap team has extended this capability by creating an External Module which can capture additional signatures to be merged with the participant survey before creating the pdf. For instance, if a research team signature is required for the consent to be valid, then a CRC can sign an additional form which can then be merged with the participant form.
