Edit & adapt code frame
After generating or importing a code frame, the R3M platform allows you to refine and customize it to best fit your project’s needs. Editing and adapting your code frame ensures that your thematization is accurate, relevant, and tailored to your specific data.
Why edit the code frame?
- Improve accuracy: Fine-tune themes and ideas to better reflect the content of your verbatims.
- Increase relevance: Remove irrelevant or redundant codes and add new ones as needed.
- Enhance clarity: Use clear, descriptive names for themes and ideas to make coding and analysis easier.
Editing tools & actions
You can perform the following actions directly in the platform’s code frame editor:
-- Rename ideas and themes: Click the pen icon to edit the name of any theme or idea for clarity or consistency.
-- Delete ideas or themes: Select the item and click the trash icon to remove it from your code frame.
-- Add new themes or ideas: Use the plus icon in the top menu to add a new theme, or the plus on the right to add a new idea or sub-theme under an existing theme.
-- Move ideas between themes: (Feature coming soon) Use arrows to reorganize ideas and place them under different themes as your analysis evolves.
A well-adapted code frame is essential for meaningful thematization. Take time to review and adjust your code frame before starting the codification process.
Iterative improvement
- You can return to the code frame at any time to make further adjustments.
- If you add or change themes/ideas after initial coding, you may need to re-run the thematization process for updated results.
Editing and adapting your code frame ensures your qualitative analysis is robust, flexible, and truly reflective of your data.
