Queries
Queries help you to explore your data and investigate hunches as you progress through your project. You can:
- Find and analyze the words or phrases in your files and codes.
- Ask questions and find patterns based on your coding and check for coding consistency among team members.
Create quick and simple queries to get a sense of what is happening in the data, or build detailed queries for a more focused perspective. Queries & visualizations
