Viewing how you have coded a segment!

[Anonymous]

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me with a few tips regarding using

NVivo 8. I've imported a transcript and have done my open coding (using free

nodes). I am now trying to organise them doing my axial coding (I'm copying

and pasting them into tree nodes). There are two things I'm not sure about:

1) How do I see clearly the different codes I have given to a segment of

text? I know I can hover over the coding density stripe but someone told me

there's a button which shows it more clearly which would be great! 2) I seem

to be having a lot of overlap between my tree nodes and child nodes. I think

it's because I used free node headings that were too broad and coded them

under a broad heading and a narrower one (e.g. same segment coded under

broader term "Access" and narrower "Out-patient appointment"). In all

thecopying and pasting I'm getting lost as to what I've transferred to which

node now! I'm not sure I'm going about this the right way!!

Sorry for the complicated request! 

Thanks,

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

 

Probably best if I log in and take a look at what you have done to date? You can take me through what you have described and I can show you anything you need to learn as opposed to posting a big long reply? Evenings are best for me as I am generally hard to get during the day. I am in a workshop all day Monday but will be on-line from about 4-30 on Tuesday for the whole evening? Would that suit?

Kind regards,

Ben
