This is very helpful. Thanks a lot. I just autocoded four interview transcripts and divided them into three individual cases with a few clicks. Thanks a lot!

Hey, thanks for the video, it was really helpfull! I have a question tho, the only way of making cases for focus groups is with autocoding?

[@qdatraining]

Hi Andrea, you could make a single case out of the entire focus group and that would allow you attach focus group characteristics such as location as attributes but would disallow personal attributes such as people profiles. I hope this response is helpful, but do let me know if you have any questions or concerns

[@aimeemcdonald695]

How do you tag the respondents?

[@qdatraining]

By placing a unique ID prior to each comment in the transcript. It could be a name, pseudonym, or code. This would be common practice for focus group transcripts. I hope this response is helpful, but do let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
