Importing a codebook |
To create your node structure, you can import a codebook that has been saved in the Codebook Exchange Format (.qdc). This is a standard format for sharing codes between Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) tools. To import a codebook: 1. On the Data tab, in the Import group, click Codebook. 2. Locate and open the .qdc file. 3. To include colors that have been assigned to codes, click the Include colors checkbox.
NOTE Colors can vary between QDA tools. If you select the Include colors checkbox, NVivo uses the closest color match. This can lead to unexpected results and should be considered carefully if you have used colors to identify particular categories of nodes.
