A codebook is a set of answer categories that can be assigned to one or more variables in a codingschema (for example ‘liberal’, ‘republican’, ‘other’).
To make a codebook, go to Coding->Codebooks->Create new codebook.
First, change the codebook name. Then, hover the cursor over the codebook name, and a little star icon appears. Click on this to add a new code, that is, one answer option for a particular variable, to the codebook.
One code can have multiple labels (languages), for example one in German and one in English. Which label coders see depends on the language setting in AmCAT they use.
Save the label(s), then save the changes to the codebook, and the new code appears in the codebook. You can add more codes in the same way.
You can always edit codebooks later, using the icons that appear when you hover the cursor over a code.
