After creating a new (empty) coding scheme, you can add variables to it. You do so in the codingschema editor.
Click on ‘Add field’ to add a new variable. If you want to change the order of the variables in the coding scheme, drag a variable to its intended position in the coding scheme. Doubleclick on a cell, for example the cell ‘New Field (0)’ above, to change its contents. Press ‘tab’ to jump to the next cell in the table.
In the codingschema editor:
- Text: coders can enter text freely
- Number: coders can enter numbers freely
- Codebook: coders can choose from predefined answer categories
- Yes/no: this type of variable appears as a box that coders can tick or leave empty
- Quality: a numerical variable with the values -1, -0.5, 0, 0.5 and 1.
