The reader

Definition first, then the quotes, preferred ones at the top.

The evidence for each theme, one click away

A map shows the structure of your analysis. The reader shows what it rests on. Select a theme or code and the reader beside the map shows its working definition, the participants who speak to it and the quotes coded to it, the strongest first.

This is where reviewing themes happens in practice: reading a definition against its quotes and asking whether they still belong together.

Where definitions come from

The definition column in the Framework tab, one row per theme, code or sub-code. If there is no Framework tab, the themes and codes still appear, only without definitions.

Preferred quotes

A quote marked preferred floats to the top of its code. These are also the quotes Present mode shows.

Quotes on a theme

A quote with no code belongs to the theme itself and shows when the theme is selected.
