Add Checks

By default the BMS will assign 'Test entry' entry type to all af your entries, but you can define eny entry as a check. In a randomized design. Checks are inserted at random in randomized designs. Checks can be spaced and duplicated at intervals in a non-randomized design (entry list order). See more about Study Design.
