Survey Queue
REDCap allows for the ability to display a list
of surveys that a participant needs to
complete on a single worklist.
 The Queue is a list of surveys that the
participant is scheduled to take based on
logic of a prior survey taken and/or a
specified criteria, similar to Automated
Survey Invitations.
 The ability to “auto-start” the next survey
enables the participant to be directed
immediately to the next survey in the queue.
