− | * ‘'''Export # parents'''’ is for '''hierarchical codebooks'''. Each ‘# parent’ creates an additional variable for a higher level in the hierarchy. For example, the variable '''Topic''', the last variable in the screenshot to the left, has a [[create codebooks|hierarchical codebook]], shown to the right. Two possible topics you can code are Terrorism in Europe and Terrorism in the Middle East, which, in this codebook, are both considered types of terrorism. That is, they are 'children' of the 'parent' terrorism. If you choose to export '''0 parents''', you '''export the codes exactly as they are coded''': Terrorism, Terrorism in Europe, and Terrorism in the Middle East. If you instead choose to '''export 1 parent''', AmCAT '''adds an additional variable''' to the dataset which '''aggregates''' both Terrorism in Europe and Terrorism in the Middle East '''to the level of their parent''', meaning that the value for both of these codes is 'Terrorism'. This saves the trouble of recoding variables into aggregate categories! | + | * ‘'''Export # parents'''’ is for '''hierarchical codebooks'''.

After your articles have been coded, you can download the codings so you can analyze them outside of AmCAT, for example in Excel, SPSS or R. To do so, first go to the codingjobs overview ('Coding Jobs' in the dropdown menu under the 'Codings' tab).
Here, you can first check whether all articles have indeed been coded. Have a look at the complete and the todo rows in the table on the lower half of the screen. Are there indeed 0 more articles to do (code)? If so, you can download the codings.
From the table, select the codingjobs you want to export, and click ‘Export codingjobs’ to the upper right of the table. From the dropdown menu, select the level of codings (sentence and/or article codings) you want to export.
In the next screen, you can select variables to include in your datasef as well as its output format.
When exporting coding results from AmCAT, you first have to specify the format of the dataset and the variables to include.
Furthermore:
Click Submit, and in the next screen Download results to download the codings in the chosen file format.
