Summary

Adds a toggle switches to section headers on data entry and survey forms that can be used for showing and hiding all fields within each section.

Demo: https://redcap.link/section-collapse

Modes

• By Section: each section can be expanded or collapsed independently.
• Accordion: only one section at a time can be expanded - expand one section and all others collapse.

Configuration

A project-level default setting can be specfied:

• No selection (default): both accordion and by section modes available
• Accordion mode only
• By Section mode only
• Neither (both disabled)

Instrument-level settings can be specified to override the project-level setting for individual instruments:

• Both accordion and by section modes available
• Accordion mode only
• By Section mode only
• Neither (both disabled)

Mode Preference Persistence

Where both modes are available, the user's preference is persisted. The mechanism depends on the form view:

• Data entry: via user-level setting
• Survey: via cookie
