Learn how to utilise “Sets” or groups in NVivo to organise data into natural groups for further retrieval and analysis to come. The first video demonstrates sets in version 12 while the second video on this page explains sets in NVivo 2020 and NVivo 14 (same interface)
NVivo 12
NVivo 2020 (r1) and NVivo 14
Summary
This video introduces the concept of sets in NVivo, which are labels used to categorize and organize assets within the software. Sets function as labels without affecting the original storage location of an object. The video demonstrates how sets can help users keep track of their coding progress in a project by creating static sets for coded and not coded items. Sets are stored in folders and can be used as shortcuts for quick item selection in queries, making them a time-saving tool in data analysis.
Highlights
- 📁 Sets in NVivo are like labels for organizing assets.
- 🧩 Sets don’t change an object’s storage location.
- 📋 Create static sets like “Coded” and “Not coded” to track coding progress.
- 🗂 Sets are stored within specific folders.
- 🧾 Sets can be used as shortcuts for quick item selection in queries.
- 💼 Sets save time in data analysis by grouping items efficiently.
