If you are taking an inductive approach to coding, you attach codes to units of data as you analyse your files. Click on the text, then drag and drop it over the required node.Select the unit of text you want to code in the data file.Select a Color to specify the colour of coding stripes (optional).To incorporate reference from child nodes within the parent node, select the Aggregate coding from children checkbox.

If the node name is very long, you can create a Nickname which will be shorter and quicker to use in the quick coding bar.

In the New Node dialog box, enter a Name and Description (optional) for the node.If you are taking a deductive approach, you will have a list of pre-defined codes and want to create nodes for these and then code your sources to the relevant node.
