RedcapModule_StealthQueue

This REDCap module sends REDCap's survey queue under cover. When employed, survey queue will function normally but will work silently and invisibly. And the REDCap user will not know it is there.

Notes

1. You must enable auto-start on all surveys in order for this module to work correctly.
2. Do not enable this module where you wish for users to be aware of survey queue or where you need for them to start surveys at their option.

How it Works

Stealth Queue works by injecting some JavaScript into a couple of pages that hides:

1. the survey queue heading (normally displayed in the top right corner of each page of a survey in the queue) via the redcap_survey_page hook, and
2. the surey queue table (normally displayed at the bottom of the survey queue completion page) via the redcap_survey_complete hook.

Before Stealth Queue

Notice the survey queue widget that appears at the top right of each survey page:

And the survey queue table appears when the surveys are done:

After Stealth Queue

No more little survey queue widget at the top of each survey page:

And no more table at the end of the queue:
