  1. In the EDC application header, select the STUDY INFO tab.

  2. On the page that opens, in the left pane, expand the Subject option.

  3. In the menu that appears, select the Subject Information subtab.

  4. In the Subject List table that appears, locate the subject ID of your interest.

  5. In the Actions column, next to the subject, select More more_actions_black_CDL_.jpg and then one of the following:

    • Activate activate_icon.png: to make the subject available for data collection, phase change, and other activities within the EDC application.
