New Features and Issues

We try to cross reference a GitHub issue against a jira issue (CDR).
New Features
The following high level features have been added in this release:
-
New +Create tab in Manage codebooks page. - Allows the user to take a dataset (Stata or SPSS) and generate a basic DDI-C codebook. Finally, the new codebook is loaded into the CED2AR database. This is an experimental feature that works with file datasets. (The repository option has not been implemented.)
User Documentation
CDR-207, CDR-208, CDR-213, CDR-227, CDR-239, CDR-240 -
The Modify a Codebook page is now titled Manage codebooks - There were some minor UI changes to the v2.8 page, tabs and buttons. In v2.9, the new page title is Manage codebooks. The old Add tab is now Upload.
CDR-208 -
ced2ardata2ddi service added - A new SOA service has been added to support the conversion of datasets (Stata or SPSS) into DDI-C codebook format. (The SOA service is only used in the +Create tab. System administrators have the option of turning off this service. If the administrator unchecks the service, the +Create tab will not be displayed to the user.)
