Codebook Actions

Codebook Actions

Collapse/Expand: Expand your codebook to see all child codes; collapse your codebook to see only parent/root codes

Upcode Wizard/Retroactive Upcode: Dedoose will cycle through all excerpts and attach the parent/root codes for any child codes that you have used on any excerpt. 

Reorder Codes: Custom order your codes

Import Codes: Import codes via an Excel sheet

Export Codes: Export your codebook and associated information to your desired format. This can be useful to see a code tree outside Dedoose, but also to import that code tree into another project.

Codebooks and codes can be exported:

1. In a table format (Excel, CSV,QDC), which will include the place of a code in a code hierarchy, their title, description, information on code weights.

   Note:

   • Column Id shows the number given as id to each code.
   • Column parent Id shows id of the parent of that code – if there is none that code is a parent code.
   • Depth shows the place of the code in the family with 0 for parent, 1 for child, 2, for grandchild.

   This exported code tree can be re-imported in a different project. 

2. In a text format (Word, Text only). This will generate a document organized by codes including titles, description, information on weights, excerpts for each code (if the box ‘Include Code Excerpts’ has been selected), the media they were in and their position in that media.
