Kia ora! Hello! Overview: I am hoping that the other users on this forum will have some idea on the best way to export an Nvivo project to allow sequential coding. Basically after I code our data, my PI would download the .nvpx file from a shared drive, and open the project on her own mac, and review my coding and add anything I may have missed. Sounds relatively straightforward, but we have had some real issues! Details: We are using Nvivo 12, we are all on Macs, and the data we are currently coding is a combination of text and regional coding of PDF files. The problem: For some reason when I export the project, the areas that are regionally coded look fine. The areas that are text coded are no longer coded, once I export the project. Instead the text areas that were coded are listed in a memo file that Nvivo has generated and attached to the PDF. If anyone understands why it is removing the text coding and putting it into a memo, and retaining the regional coding, we would love to hear it! even better, how to prevent it from doing that when we export the project. Alternatively, if there is a better way to be doing sequential coding on a project, please let us know! I am happy to add any other relevant information that might help answer this question. It has brought us to quite the standstill, analysis-wise. Cheers, Cassie

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.
