Introduction

The Start Menu in codeit is accessed by clicking the "Start" button on the Project Dashboard page.
It is the jumping off point when you want to start working on a coding project.


The Start Menu page contains a set of tools you can use to work on your data.


Available Tools

When you access the Start Menu, you will see five tools available for you to use as follows:


ToolDescriptionLicense Required
ExtractTriggers the process of automated theme/brand extraction and autocodingcodeit Explorer

Filtering and Options

In most cases, you can use settings to control the behaviour of each tool.
These settings are accessed before you start the tool, using the blue button at the bottom of the page.



The settings available for each tool are different, as outlined in the following table:
