\item{raw_or_label}{raw or label tags. Can be "raw", "label" or "both".
* "raw": Standard \link[REDCapR]{redcap_read} method to get raw values.
* "label": Standard \link[REDCapR]{redcap_read} method to get label values.
* "both": Get raw values with REDCap labels applied as labels. Use
\link[REDCapCAST]{as_factor} to format factors with original labels and use
the `gtsummary` package functions like \link[gtsummary]{tbl_summary} to
easily get beautiful tables with original labels from REDCap. Use
\link[REDCapCAST]{fct_drop} to drop empty levels.}
\item{split_forms}{Whether to split "repeating" or "all" forms, default is
all.}

\description{
Implementation of passed on to \link[REDCapCAST]{REDCap_split} with a focused
data acquisition approach using passed on to \link[REDCapR]{redcap_read} and
only downloading specified fields, forms and/or events using the built-in
focused_metadata including some clean-up.
Works with classical and longitudinal projects with or without repeating
instruments.
Will preserve metadata in the data.frames as labels.
