Generate summary reports to advance the analytic process

Once you have completed coding a dataset (or at any point during the process), you can review, print or save the results. Note: Reports are available even if a dataset has not been locked.

To lock a dataset (and suspend coding by assigned peers), select “View Datasets” from the Datasets drop-down menu. Click on the name of the dataset you want to lock then click on the “Lock Dataset” button in the Toolbox. After selecting “Lock Dataset”, choose “Really Lock Dataset?”.

The browser will return to the page titled “View Raw Datasets for Coding”. You can unlock a dataset to resume coding anytime.

To generate a dataset report:

Go to the “Reports” drop-down menu located at the top of the website.

Click on the “Report Facility” button. You will be redirected to a list of datasets to which you have been assigned.

Step 1: Select which type of report you want.

Step 2: Select the dataset for which you would like to generate a report. You can narrow down your datasets by selecting a specific project.
Image
Now choose the coders and codes that you would like to include/exclude from your report. You may add or remove coders using the “coders to display” and "codes to display" features.
Image
Select your display type. This can be a table, pie charts, or bar charts.

Step 3:
Now choose the parameters of your report. You may select from a number of formats under the “Report format” list.

Final Step:
Name your report and select "press here to create the report now". You may then choose to a.) generate your report as a PDF or b.) generate your report as an RTF file or c.) generate a "print-friendly page".
