I am working on a qualitative project with focus group data. Each file in my project thus contains responses from multiple participants (e.g., the file "FG1" contains responses from 4 unique participants who participated in the first focus group). I created a case for each participant, and added a number of attributes (e.g., age, gender, level of education) for each participant. I then coded all participants' quotes to their relevant case (e.g., all of the times Annie spoke are coded to the case "Annie".) Then, I created analytical nodes (e.g., "trauma") and coded into these nodes directly from my cases. However, when I export my analytical nodes, none of the case names or attributes appear in my coding. Instead, every quote is simply tagged with the filename it's from. For example, a quote from Annie, who spoke in Focus group 1, appears in the exported node simply as "<Files\\Focus Group Transcripts\\Transcript, FG1>". This is not helpful, since I need to know which participant is saying what. Does anyone know how to export nodes with case names and case attributes attached to each unique quote from a focus group participant? Thank you!

Hi I have a project that is still being coded. Each of my source file has been created as a case with attributes. The source files in in the internals folder are arranged this way: School A - Interviews - FGDs - Observations School B - Interviews - FGDs - Observations etc, for 7 schools. In each interview/FGD/Observation folder are sources for teachers, students and administrators. I need to split the project into the different groups - one project file for teachers, one project file for students and one project file for admin. How can I do that without creating 3 copies of the project file and manually deleting the sources one by one? Each of my source has already been created as a case with the attribute "position" that can be assigned as teacher, student or admin. I explored the Filter--> Advanced option when I tried to export the project but I am not able to export all the sources, nodes, cases and coding together. Thanks.
