Ability to embed REDCap Surveys in WiscWeb
Description
I want to be able to embed REDCap forms into WiscWeb. I frequently get asked about how to make requests for our services and I would like to have a long term SMPH Informatics address to provide. I would prefer the link not to be a generic REDCap project address for the Service Intake. I would also like the survey to look like it was part of the main site. There is a lot of functionality that runs off the REDCap project, so switching away from that is not an option.
Business case
- What is the business case? What does this integration help you to do that you cannot do currently?
- REDCap offers capacity beyond gravity forms, and as a widely used tool, has a lot of relevant historical data and is supported by a high level of institutional knowledge.
- How does the proposed integration positively impact the University mission?
- The ability to embed REDCap forms would improve User Experience for students, staff, and community members.
- What is the level of importance for this request? How urgent is it? Do you have a deadline for when this needs to be in place?
- Mid-level urgent. I have a website soft-launch update deadline of January 2024, with a hard launch in July 2024. The ability to embed this tool may factor into our ability to use WiscWeb vs a DoIT or externally hosted site.

High This feature is crucial for the website's core functions or to fix important issues. It's essential for a smooth user experience, and I believe it should be addressed urgently. -
Medium: Absence of this feature has a moderate level of impact on my website. They may not be crucial for its basic functioning, but should be considered after higher priority tasks. -
