I’m working on TS domain for study. I see confusing guidance from CDISC definitions for ACTSUB and SSTDTC

SSTDTC: The earliest date of informed consent among any subject (Date/Time of Informed Consent, RFICDTC) that enrolled in the study. For studies conducted without informed consent (ie. emergency use) use the date of treatment. **Dates for subjects who were screen failures are not included.**

ACTSUB: Actual number of subjects enrolled; **may include subjects who were not randomized.**

My question is: Do we count subjects who participated in study but were not randomized due failing eligibility criteria for ACTSUB?
