What is wave data?
Wave data is encountered when you import the first and subsequent waves of an ongoing or tracking study. Your 'wave' study will typically have the same question(s) asked repeatedly across different periods of time.
Why do we need to consider wave data at import?
Importing your data to store in waves within your project makes the management of your project much easier in codeit. Additionally, the accumulation of coded data in historical waves also allows the codeit AI to learn which enables it to autocode future waves.
