Open Code definitions

If you or your team members work with more than one set of Code definitions, you can switch between definitions, by opening them manually.

Click Start - Observation - Define Codes btn_codedefinitionen, to open the Code Definitions dialog.

Click Openbtn_open to open an existing Code definition file.

Select the required Codes in the upcoming 'Open file' dialog and click Open.

Save Code definitions

You can save your code definition files anywhere you like. If you have multiple files that are linked, using the lexical chain functionality, you need to make sure all linked files are stored in the same folder. To save the currently opened Code definitions:

Click on the Btn_save button in the "Code definitions" dialog

or

Choose File - save as... to save the current definitions into a new file.

TIP:If you have more than one Code definition file, using lexical chains, create a sub folder to group all files that belong together. This makes it easier to keep track of different setups.
