Details
Uses utils::browseURL() to open the specified REDCap page.
In order for the function to work you must have ran
project <- sync_project(project) successfully at least once.
If the link brings you to a page that doesn't work check the URL. It's
possible your institution may have changed redcap versions, which is part of
the URL. In that case run project <- sync_project(project) again.
You may have to be signed into REDCap for it to work properly.
When in doubt, just seek out the page by navigating on your own in REDCap.
Report issues if you can.
