Course Description

Introducing Cases and Classifications

Classifications play a key role in running coding queries, to enable comparisons across files and/or cases. This session introduces cases and classifications, and shows you how to set-up both file and case classifications for your project. If this sounds like a relatively boring aspect of the software, think again! Watch this session to understand just how useful classifications might be in your research.

This session is for researchers who are experienced with NVivo.


A Note About Versions

The videos are presented with the latest version of NVivo for Windows. If you are still using NVivo 12 or are on a Mac, alternative instructions are provided and there are training notes for both versions (Windows and Mac).
