A guide to maintaining strict research compliance by generating massive, anonymized ID batches and secure passwords for your clinical deployments.
In clinical trials and academic research, protecting participant identity is paramount. The Ticket Generator allows you to instantly spin up hundreds of secure credentials, ensuring that your study remains strictly double-blind and IRB-compliant.
Participants log in using auto-generated alphanumeric passcodes. Your data is tied only to an ID (e.g., PAT001), ensuring researchers never see personally identifiable information.
Split a batch into "Treatment" and "Control" groups, and let the system randomly assign participants. You distribute the tickets without knowing who is in which group.
Generate unique, random medical values (like lab numbers) attached to each ticket. These can be injected directly into your questions to give every student a different patient case.
Export your generated credentials to Excel with one click for easy distribution. Or, import your own custom CSV if you already have existing hospital IDs you want to use.
Creating a batch of simple credentials takes less than ten seconds.
Give your batch an internal name (e.g., "Phase 1 Nursing Cohort"). Next, create a Subject ID Prefix (max 6 characters). The system will automatically append a three-digit sequence to this prefix.
Leave all other toggles off. Scroll down to Total Number of Subjects, enter how many tickets you need (up to 450 per batch), and click Build. The system will instantly generate the IDs along with highly secure, random 6-character passcodes for each.
Toggle Split Batch into Groups if your trial requires cohort division.
The Secrets engine attaches random, hidden numbers to each specific ticket. You can generate these by typing an explicit range or by using the letter x as a wildcard placeholder.
| Format Typed | Number Range Generated | Example Output |
|---|---|---|
1.00-3.00 | 1.00 to 3.00 (Precise boundaries) | 2.15 |
10-50 | 10 to 50 (Precise whole numbers) | 42 |
xx | 10 to 99 (Wildcard) | 47 |
xxx | 100 to 999 (Wildcard) | 802 |
xx.x | 10.0 to 99.9 (Wildcard) | 36.4 |
If you created a secret using either method (e.g., 10-50 or xx.x), you can type {{Secret 1}} directly into your Question Bank text. When Participant 1 logs in, their question will say: "The patient's temperature is 38.2 C." When Participant 2 logs in, their question will say: "The patient's temperature is 36.4 C."
Once your batch is built, it will appear in the Active Ticket Batches list. Click the green CSV button to download a master spreadsheet. This sheet contains the Subject ID, Passcode, Group Assignment, and any Secrets generated. You can use this sheet to perform a mail-merge or cut it into physical strips to hand to your participants.
If you already have a roster of Hospital IDs or Student IDs that you must use, you do not need to use our generator. You can click Import CSV to upload your own list.
