You are now ready to build your study. You will not be able to use your study for Data Entry until you have created at least one visit containing at least one eForm.
If you wish to rename your study, you can make a copy of the study under a new name and then delete the original version.
Warning: Copying a study does not copy any subject data already entered for the study. It is not possible to directly copy subject data from one study to another.
Whilst the study status is In preparation, you can make any changes you like to the study, although some of your study subjects may not open in Data Entry (for example if you have deleted questions, eForms or visits for which there was data already collected).
When the study status is Open, indicating that you are now collecting live data, you can only make restricted changes to the study, to avoid invalidating the subjects that have already been created. More info...
