Introduction
Codeframes lie at the core of the Coding process. A Codeframe is a list themes that can be applied to Verbatims within a Task. Using a defined list of items ensures consistency when multiple people are working on a Task or when a Task is worked on over time.
Codeframe Structure
Codeframes will appear in codeit as follows:
Codeframe Elements
The following table lists the elements of a Codeframe with a description and links to further information:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Net | Used to group together related Themes for analysis purposes and for convenience during Coding |
| Subnet | Used to create a hierarchical structure of Nets for analysis purposes and for convenience during Coding |
| Theme | Defines a topic, subject or brand name that can be assigned to Verbatims during coding |
| Codeframe Root | Contains Themes that are not contained within a Net. This is for display purposes only, to help locate standalone Themes (i.e. those not in a Net). If a Codeframe contains no Nets then the Codeframe Root is not displayed and instead, Themes are displayed as a single list. |
