MAXQDA - Video 2 - Creating Categories and Coding Responses Note: The video views best on full screen mode and on the highest HD setting. A quick way to select an entire response is to click on the number to the left of the response. This will help with duplication when you autocode later. **When selecting the text to categorize, it is generally best to select the entire response. If it was coded successfully you will see that the number to the right of the category now says "1" instead of "0". Then, click-hold and drag your cursor to the category in your "Code System" window. To code a response into one of your now created categories, use your cursor to highlight the exact text in a response (in the "Document Browser" window) that you believe fits into your category. To create others, just repeat the process. You have now created your first category. You can now type in the name of the category and you may change the color of the tag. Then, click "New Code" on the drop down menu that appears. To do this, right-click on the "Code System" inside the "Code System" window. If this is successful, the text should appear.Īfter you have read through enough responses to get a feel for what categories should be created, you can create your categories. Now, click-hold and drag the document (that you imported previously) from the "Document System" window over to the "Document Browser" window. Note: It views best on full screen mode and on the highest HD setting 1080p, which is available near the video player's right hand corner after you click play). Then, click-hold and drag the document into the window labeled "Document System." If the import is successful, you will see the document appear in this window.Ĭlick here if you can't view the video below. Thus, I recommend converting your file to a simple text document first (.txt). For some reason, any kind of file (no matter if I followed their directions or not) failed to import. I had a lot of trouble trying to import documents.
Most of the data we work from comes from SPSS, so my video tutorial shows the easiest way to do this from SPSS. In order to do this, you will need to convert it from whatever form it is in into a simple text document (.txt).
