3.3:Coding Revision as of 11:41, 14 May 2015 by Carinaj (Talk | contribs) (diff) ← Older revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)

Below you see a screenshot of a document opened in the Annotator. The document text is to the right, and in the middle of the screen there is a number of variables for coding on the article level. Each variable has a coding field where you can enter information. What exactly you can enter here (e.g. whether you can type in text freely or select an option from a list) depends on the settings in the coding scheme. You can change this in the create codingschemes section.

Some useful shortcuts:

• Tab: Jump to the next coding field. When you have variables using codebooks, use the ↓ and ↑ keys to select a value from the list and press tab to jump to the next field. This way you can code quickly.

• Shift + Tab: Jump to the previous coding field.

• Ctrl + s : Save your coding progress and continue coding. This changes the article’s status to ‘in progress’.

• Ctrl + d: Save your coding progress and continue to the next article in the coding job. This changes the article’s status to ‘finished’.

• Ctrl + i: Change the article’s status to ‘irrelevant’, save and continue to the next article.

You can use the Save, Finish & Continue and Irrelevant & Continue buttons, respectively, for the same purposes.

Below the variables on the article level, you will find the sentence codings.
