![]() The simplest code list that can be imported is a simple list of code names, one per line. Select Text (Tab Delimited) (*.txt) from the Save as type: pop up menu in the Save As dialog.Select Save As from the File menu/tab to save the template.Remove (Delete) the header line from the template.Once you have developed your code list in the Excel template, you can prepare it for import with the following steps: In the first of our Microsoft Excel templates, or any text editor, you can simply create a list of code names (see side bar for name restrictions). HyperRESEARCH will remind you that the list will be appended or added to the current Code Book.From the Edit Code pop up menu in the Code Book, select Import List.Excel will warn you about saving in the text format. The Code Book shown to the left will be produced upon importing the list shown in the template above.Ĭode descriptions in HyperRESEARCH's Code Book can be used to keep notes about anything the researcher(s) like. Most often, code descriptions are used to keep guidance on how the code is intended to be applied or to clarify the difference between similar codes used in a study. To create an importable list of codes with code descriptions, simply add a second column in Excel (or a second column separated by a tab in a text editor) for the Code Description. Importing the same template shown above for a code list with code descriptions produced the resulting code list shown to the left.īasic Code List with Descriptions Template Code Descriptions can be blank or empty.įollowing the same steps as above to save the edited template for importing as a code list: The Code Description column can contain any characters except a line break (carriage return). To create a code list with code groups, two additional columns need to be added. They must be in order after the Code (or group) Name column. These are the Type (code or group) and the Parent Group. The row order does not matter, but it is a good convention for easier reading to list Groups before you use them. The Type column cannot be blank and must contain only the word code or group depending on whether the name is for a code or a code group. ![]() The Parent Group column must contain the name of the parent group for every code or group. The Top level group or default group or root of the tree is called All Codes. ![]() ![]() Repeat the same steps as previously described to remove the header line and save the template as a tab delimited file and then import the code list into HyperRESEARCH. The template above produces the code list shown to the left when imported. Notice that A Sample Code and Another Sample Code have been placed in the group called Sample Group. ![]()
