An administrator can specify the default blinding codes in the ADMIN section of the RedJade® Suite as 3-digit, 4-digit or enter codes manually. Upon changing the default blinding codes, the previous ones are archived. Any projects using the archived codes are not affected, but if additional samples are added to a previously created project, the new set of codes are used. 


Also on the Blinding Codes page you can change or delete codes, change the name of the blinding code bucket or create a custom list of codes. 


NOTE – New companies are setup as 3-Digit blinding codes. You must be set up as a company administrator in RedJade to change, edit or create custom blinding codes.
