If you select 'Code sources at nodes' when you convert the project, then documents attributes are converted to node classification attributes-this is useful when document attributes hold information about people, places or other research subjects. An indication of the text link is provided in a linked memo (the memo includes the approximate location of the text link in the PDF).
#MAXQDA VS NVIVO PDF#
Text links attached to text segments in PDF documents are not converted to 'see also' links.
#MAXQDA VS NVIVO FULL#
When converted, the annotated area extends across a full horizontal section of the image. An indication of the memo that was attached to the text segment is provided in a linked memo (the memo includes the approximate location of the text segment in the PDF). Memos attached to text segments in PDF documents are not converted to annotations. If the MAXQDA memo contains linked codes, a 'see also' link is created, linking the first word of the text segment to the corresponding node. The annotation is linked to the first word of the text segment in the document source. If the MAXQDA memo contains linked codes, a 'see also' link is created, linking the first word of the memo to the corresponding node. The memo is linked to the document source by a memo link. Line numbering and paragraph numbering are not available in NVivo. If a text cannot be imported into NVivo for any reason, it is represented in NVivo by an external source.Ĭolor attributes are converted to source colors-the MAXQDA color is converted to the closest NVivo color (blue, green, purple, orange, red, pink, or yellow). All other texts are converted to document sources. If the MAXQDA memo contains linked codes, a 'see also' link is created, linking the first word of each document (text) in the set to the corresponding node. If the MAXQDA project has a memo attached to the root level 'Texts' group, this is converted to the NVivo project description, but any linked codes are not converted. If the MAXQDA memo contains linked codes, a 'see also' link is created, linking the first word of each document (text) in the folder (text group) to the corresponding node. The memo will be truncated during conversion if it contains more than 512 characters. The maximum length of the description is 512 characters.

Top of Page Understand how MAXQDA project elements are converted to NVivo project elements Texts, text groups, text sets, text memos and attributes MAXQDA If you receive a message indicating that you do not have permission to create a project on the server, verify with your server administrator that you are in a server user group that has permission to create new projects. You need a standalone connection to create a standalone project saved to your computer or a network drive. If you cannot select NVivo Projects (*.nvp), check your connections. The Connection name box is empty if you have not set up any server connections-click the Add button to create a new server connection using the Connection Properties dialog box. MAXQDA documents are converted to NVivo sources, codes are converted to nodes, and coding references are converted to node references- refer to Understand how MAXQDA project elements are converted to NVivo elements for more information. If you do not select this option, document attributes are converted to source classification attributes and the attribute values are set on the source.Ī new NVivo project is created.

Document attributes are converted to node classification attributes, and the attribute values are set on the node.
#MAXQDA VS NVIVO CODE#
(Optional) Select the Code sources at nodes check box, to create a node for each document (text) that is converted to an NVivo source. To save as a server project, select NVivo Server Projects from the Save as type list, then select the server from the Connection name box, and then enter a name for the converted project in the Project name box. To save as a standalone project, select NVivo Projects (*.nvp ) from the Save as type list, and then enter a name for the converted project in the File name box. The Convert Project dialog box opens.Ĭlick the Browse button, and then choose where you want to save the converted project. Locate and select the project you want to open.Ĭlick Open. Select MAXQDA 2007, 10 Projects (*.mx3, *.mx4, *.mx5) from the File or Project type list.
