What is a Bucket?

Conceptual “Buckets” are broad categories of ideas that contain multiple thematically similar codes. Buckets are an intermediate step before the creation of a dataset to be coded.

Adding Files to a Bucket

To add files to a bucket use the two buttons immediately to the right of the search bar.

Clicking “Add All To Bucket” adds all the files that were returned by the search definitions to the selected bucket. Adding all files without a search definition will add the entire archive to the highlighted bucket.

To add files individually use the check boxes immediately to the left of the files in the viewing window below the search bar, then click 'Add Selected to Bucket' to add only those files that were checked to the selected bucket.

Note: Be sure to add specifically selected page by page in the browser, as files become unselected when you move to another page.
