Codeframe Manager

Codeframes are one of the core elements of the coding system. Here you can manage questions associated with codeframes, add new codeframes, delete codeframes, copy codeframes, share codeframes, and merge codeframes.

Questions Panel

To create a codeframe from a Question, click and drag the question in the Questions Panel to the New Codeframe box in the Codeframes Panel shown below.

Codeframes Panel

Lists Questions that are assigned to each codeframe and actions that are available.

Name	Description
	Toggles the display of all questions shared with this codeframe
	Launches the codeframe merge window
	Removes a codeframe. This option is only available when the codeframe doesn't have any questions.
	Removes a question in a codeframe. This option is only available when a question does not have any codes applied. Removing the only question in a codeframe also removes the codeframe.
