Data Importer - Codeframe Details Step
Configure names, descriptions and preset codes for any new codeframes.
Study Questions & Answers
Questions available during import. The answers from questions can be used to create preset codes by dragging the question into the codes area of a Codeframe.
Manage Codeframes Panel
Change details about the codeframe description and label as well as update the available codes. Codes can be edited manually, bulk imported or added from existing questions.
Codeframe Dropdown
Switch between codeframes to update details.
Code List Panel
Display the preset codes available in this codeframe. You can add new preset codes in 3 ways.
- Add the codes manually one at a time using the "+" button.
- Add the codes in bulk by pasting them into a text box. The codes and nets (if any) and the full details are specified line by line in a csv format. For details, see the Bulk Code Import Dialog.
- Add the codes from an existing question in the Study Questions & Answers panel. To add question codes, drag the question from the Questions section on the left and drop it into the codeframe Codes section on the right.

Edit Code List
You can edit the Code List form directly by editing the code or text fields in the list.
