Nvivo provides ways to auto-code documents. Understanding auto-coding in document sources

Therefore, a step by step guide has been provided to help utilize the auto-coding option. However, to initiate auto-coding in Nvivo, it is necessary to confirm the document is well structured and designed in a prescribed format. This saves time from going through the whole data (especially transcripts) in case the sampled population is huge. While working with structured documents like interviews where the same set of questions are asked to different participants, Nvivo allows the documents to get automatically coded in respective nodes.

However, the earlier article was partial in information since it dealt only with manual coding of themes and elements or topics into nodes. Earlier we discussed creating nodes that act as ‘sticky notes’ denoting particular themes or topics common across the qualitative data.
