We released CED2AR v2.9.0.0 for download. The software is deployed on our live CED2AR instances as well, including the live demo at https://demo.ncrn.cornell.edu.
New Features
The following high level features have been added in this release:
- New +Create tab in Manage codebooks page. – Allows the user to take a dataset (Stata or SPSS) and generate a basic DDI-C codebook. Finally, the new codebook is loaded into the CED2AR database. This is an experimental feature that works with file datasets. (The repository option has not been implemented.)
