Overview

When subject data has been entered, changes to the project setup should be reviewed for how they will effect the completion status of subject data.  If a subject's variable group has an unknown status, opening the variable group will allow Studytrax to evaluate the completion status.  Saving the variable group will update the completion status in the database.
