Hi,

I'm currently setting up my codes. Some of the codesets will have a large number of codes -- for example a list of countries. I'm trying to find out:

(a) If I can batch import codes rather than having to type them in, and

(b) If it is possible to have codes appear as a dropdown list when coding, rather than as checkboxes (simply to save screen space).

Any steers much appreciated -- and I hope I haven't missed obvious answers elsewehere (have searched online and on this forum for things like country, country list and dropdown).

Thanks!

Mike

Hello Mike,

You can copy codesets from other reviews along with copying codesets (or sections of codesets) within a review.
There are a number of pre-made codesets In the 'public codesets' review. Some of them might already have the information you require.
For example, there is a 'country' codeset in the list of publicly available codesets. It contains over 140 countries that you can copy into your review (and then edit if necessary).
You can access the publicly available codesets by clicking on the 'Configure review/codesets' icon that you can find at the top of the 'Codes' tab.
If there are any particular coding tools that you think would be useful to add to the public codeset lists please let us know and we can see about adding them.

There isn't a mechanism to allow dropdown menues in the coding tool. I can see where it might be a nice feature to save space on the screen. I can bring this up at our next design meeting.

If you have any quesitons about this please let me know.

Best regards,
Jeff

Thanks Jeff, that is very useful. The country codeset will be very helpful. I don't think the extra ones I need to add will necessarily be interesting to others (there are quite subject specific to energy use), but if I think any will be I will mention it.

Cheers, Mike
