Search First
Before creating a page, please first search to see that a similar page does not already exist.
Creating Pages
There are two ways to create a new page:
- Click on any red link in Project: Redcap. This will take you to the edit window and allow to create the page.
- Type the name of the page you want to create into the Search box. When the search results come up empty, there will be a red link at the top of the list to allow you to create the page.
Naming Pages
If you are creating a new page totally from scratch, instead of filling in an empty page, please refer to Help:Naming pages for the guidelines on how to name the page. That may look complicated, but it's very important to adhere to a proper naming convention so other contributors can find and link to your new page. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
